Bloggasm

I have a new article up at PBS — two in one week, I know! — about a small but powerful group of atheist bloggers that have fun crashing unscientific polls: Poll Crashers Tilt Unscientific Polls Their Way

Feel free to comment on the article over there.

I have a new PBS article up about citizens that are using Web 2.0 technology to aggregate on-the-ground polling reports on election day: Citizens, Media Use Social Media to Monitor Election

My article this week at PBS discusses econ bloggers and how their coverage compares to the mainstream financial press: Econ Bloggers Gain Clout in Financial Crisis

I’ve mentioned mullet blogs like Daily Kos, Redstate and Huffington Post on Bloggasm several times before — usually I discuss the back end diarists and how they affect the branding and credibility of these websites. Well this week I wrote an entire PBS feature article about diarist sites: How Political Diarists Power RedState, Daily Kos

If you’ve gotten tired of the Instapundit-esque rapid fire links that have run rampant on this blog lately, and miss those Simon Owens feature articles, you’re in luck. My latest article is now up at PBS: Journalists Consider Risks, Conflicts of Running Personal Blogs

I have a new article up at PBS about Salon.com cofounder Scott Rosenberg’s new book project: Scott Rosenberg Traces the Blogosphere’s Origins

The new job is going well. More on that later.

Last week was light for me in terms of posting here because I was writing a freelance piece for PBS’s MediaShift. The article focuses on the online media coverage that will be offered at the 2008 Democratic Convention, specifically the bloggers that will be participating in the Big Tent.
