More YearlyKos Love
I got front-paged at Daily Kos today. Cool beans. SusanG highlighted it in her Wed night Diary Rescue. I'm truly honored.Did two entries about the event on Blue Oregon.
I couldn't think of an appropriate photo, though I hear I was spotted on C-SPAN this weekend. Probably talking. And talking.... and talking...

Does this mean you're now a Kossack? (5# / 3- / *** / $$$)
It's interesting to note how few people seem to know about blogs in general and Dailykos in particular. I've been doing a little impropmtu research as I go thru my day, and very few people seem to be aware of the blogosphere in general and Dailykos in particular. This, in contrast to the 'we have arrived' euphoria that all of the conference attendees seem to be imbued with.
It brings up a lot of interesting questions. For all of the bloggers' disdain of mainstream media, it would be good to have some kind of rapprochement, because it is precisely the MSM that could hugely increase the numbers of people who might look to the blogosphere for news, information, connection etc. It's ironic to say the least, not to mention 'amusing', thought-provoking, addictive and a whole lot more. I'm really glad you made it down there and found your peeps. (but if they ask you to drink any Koolaid.... be careful)
Globber: Actually, we don't care what the MSM thinks of us. That's part of our charm.
:)
We weren't euphoric at having arrived (that's the MSM's spin), we were euphoric at having FOUND EACH OTHER. We've been talking in a vacuum for so long, it was like being released from prison to meet each other in person.
I have no doubt that more and more people will start spending their time in the blogosphere, but it won't be the competition (MSM) who invites them there. It will be you and I. That's as it should be. It's people-powered.
