An Expert's Analysis Of Candidate Blogs
Zephyr Teachout knows whereof she speaks when it comes to the blogosphere. She's currently the national director of the Sunlight Foundation and a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. More importantly, she was the director of online organizing for the 2004 presidential campaign of Democrat Howard Dean.
All of which is to say that when Teachout decides to teach the online world about the value of presidential candidate blogs, people should listen. And teach she did at techPresident, so go over there and listen. Here's a sampling to whet your appetite:
-- "Joe Biden uses blog to share his policy views."
-- "[John] Edwards' blog is for a little bit of everything, largely to be shared with a sympathetic community."
-- "[Barack] Obama's blog is for emphasizing and celebrating popularity."
-- "Chris Dodd's blog is for proving that he's viable."
