has some interesting
thoughts
that expand on the recent revelations regarding
segway’s nationwide
legislative extravaganza
, focusing on the role that weblogs could potentially play:
“Could the geographically distributed nature of various
weblog communities be used to spread technology-oriented messages
much more effectively? National support for a local candidate for
office is damned near useless, since people can’t vote in districts
where they don’t live. But leveraging the strengths of the network
by distributing issue information and communications tools for
in-person individual lobbying seems a potential that’s gone largely
untapped.”
