February 28, 2007
We always like to point out examples of blogging and new media becoming more mainstream and this would certainly be one of them.

Fear the Faux Bloggers
February 27, 2007
A buddy passed along an interesting article from the Boston Globe today about faux bloggers posing as part of the genuine netroots community, only to be found out as paid operatives. Okay, not a whole lot of suprises, but our buddy got a big kick out of it because of the recent paranoid-psychotic comments from the McCain campain about us being [...]

February 26, 2007Mitt Romney announced his South Carolina County chairmen last week with little fanfare. We want to take a minute to look back because there were some important names within the list of 79 worth mentioning.
