Key Issues

We Rule

Reporters drool.

U.S. News & World Report reported last week that several senior Republican senators demanded that "blogs" be added to their official Web sites.

That's what I'm talkin bout, but this sounds like blogger envy:

It's an amusing story, but the more I read about the weblogging phenomenon from traditional media sources — the more I hear about it from talk show hosts and pundits, and the more triumphalism, tribalism, and group hurt we're starting to see from the "blogosphere" — the more I'm convinced that even "hip" reporters and tech-savvy bloggers themselves don't really "get" blogs any more than those senior Republican senators do.

To say that bloggers don't "get" blogging is to say that talkers don't "get" talking, or walkers don't "get" walking.

It is open for interpretation. Duh... (The rest of the article isn't bad, a few familiar mentions, etc.)
