		<title>Bloggers Go Mainstream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, an op-ed I wrote about California&#8217;s early presidential primary was published in the Los Angeles Times.
Normally, I would not be considered an expert in California politics.  I know my way around, but there are many others who could give a similar point of view for the paper.
However, because of my blogging at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Voters Look to Internet for Information</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following Senator Barack Obama&#8217;s YouTube-inspired Presidential announcement this week, the media is noticing that more and more, voters are looking online to fill the information gap.
Based on a survey of 2,562 adults after November&#8217;s midterm election, most of the study&#8217;s findings confirm the continued growth of political doings on the Internet, with 31 percent of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wall Street Journal Hates The Blogosphere.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found Joseph Rago’s column in today’s Wall Street Journal (“The Blog Mob”) to be laugh-out-loud funny until I realized that it was not a satirical piece along the lines of Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal”—the man is serious! 
Like some post-colonial British master bemoaning the rise of savages to self-governance, Rago (the Journal’s assistant [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blogs Continue to Set the Media Agenda.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Post today profiles the role of new media in electoral politics.  Calling blogs and other online media &#8220;unruly,&#8221; the Post notes that current scandals engulfing Sen. George Allen and former Rep. Mark Foley, &#8220;percolated&#8221; online before hitting the mainstream press.
I don&#8217;t want to accuse the Washington Post of being late to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Special Interests Behaving Badly.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lawsuit filed yesterday in Alameda County (CA) Superior Court reveals that certain special interests are using the Internet to take electoral deception to new heights (or depths&#8211; depending on which side you&#8217;re on!).
Proposition 87, which appears on the ballot this fall, would impose a surtax on oil production in California.  Predictably, the oil [...]]]></description>

		<title>RSC Partner Makes the Blogometer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The National Journal&#8217;s Blogometer quotes my recommendations for political campaigns under the headline, &#8220;THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Link = Traffic = Happy&#8221;
&#8220;Take a look, for example, at Governor Schwarzenegger&#8217;s blog. Were they to ask, I would tell them the truth-it&#8217;s AWFUL. The posts are too long, it&#8217;s not updated often enough, it has no synergy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t pick fights with someone who buys bandwidth by the barrel.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s Business Week profiles General Motors&#8217; battle with the New York Times over some unpleasant accusations made about GM by Times columnist Tom Friedman.  The dust-up is the clearest case study yet about the power of blogs to rebut negative media coverage.
When Friedman called GM a &#8220;crack dealer&#8221; and stated that the company [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fiat Lux. The State of Corporate Blogging.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the last six months, Scott and I have met with dozens of &#8220;old economy&#8221; companies (e.g., manufacturers, energy companies, pharmas, health care providers, etc.) to talk about the growing influence of the blogosphere and the need for them to assimilate new media into their communications efforts.
Thankfully, many of these meetings have been well received [...]]]></description>
