It was about when you asked your readers whether to keep Snap or not. Most of us told you to ditch it, and you did. I thought it was great because you asked and got an answer, and followed through. It’s something I cannot really do on my blog because blogger has limitations in what I can or cannot do if one lacks the expertise, expertise in your case, you possess.

In the case of Edwards’ blog, it really is a tribe blogocracy to the max. My issue with it is that while folks can post diaries all they want, some of the features get overlooked, and they frustrate the readers and supporters. It tries to be a Daily Kos in a way, except there is no restriction on how many diaries wants to log. The Edwards’ strongly believe that voices can be heard and should be heard instead of the highly controlled, and yes I will say, contrived Obama and Clinton blogs. Edwards used to do his blog that way in 2004. Today, I consider it a bit old school, given that Facebook and social networking tools are messy as the rest of them, and that includes Edwards’ blog.

The round-ups are helpful and Edwards encourages citizen journalism, whereby someone vlog or plogs an event and enters it as a diary. Edwards often invites bloggers to press conferences and allows them to ask questions. I may be wrong, but I don’t think other candidates allow such access.

So to me, tribal(yes, I am using plural) blogocracy rocks, and it is the best type of democracy: from the groundroots/netroots upward.
