gör blogging nån nytta?

Elevate blogging from narrative to activism, from lifestyle to politics, from netizen to citizen.

Phil Wolff har sammanställt the bloger's platform, ett antal programpunkter som om de genomförs skulle kunna göra blogging samhällsnyttig, tror han.

Platform points:

A weblog for every elected official before the 2004 election.

* Improve transparency
* Conversation with constituencies more than lobbyists
* Improve the collective memory of our term-limited legislators

A weblog for every student and teacher by 2005.

* Investing in our future workforce
* Assumes access in every classroom
* Better parental involvement

A weblog for every Californian by 2006.

* Economic development in a knowledge, service, and collaboration economy
* Shorten the time to create jobs and find work

Censor-free Internet access in every public library.

* Democracy needs freedom to read

Enterprise blognets for state and local government.

* Government services turbocharged by collaboration and communication
* Government workers in more intimate communication with their customers

In short, participatory democracy between elections.
