Effective Political Blogging

I'm looking forward to the panel I'll be sharing with Doc and Mitch and Cameron in San Diego at the Emerging Democracy Teach-In. Here's a bit of a schpiel about it.

Blogging is the voice of the revolution. Unscripted, bottom up -- blogging lets people on the ground tell their own stories -- while syndication technology gives wide readership and lets news and insights bubble up to the top. This session will teach participants the essentials of successful blogging. What works. What doesn't. How to track the conversation flow and measure the impact of your own contributions using tools like Feedster, Technorati, Blogdex and Daypop.

As for metrics and measuring and tools, I hope to leave some of that stuff to the men to discuss. I've got another angle entirely. See you there!
