...Blogging has moved from experimental to mainstream. What social or technical features would you like to see enter the world of blogging? I have been blogging since 2001 and the one thing that bugs me about the format is the reverse chronological format. There is no good way to highlight very good pieces of content. I wish there was a way to highlight content better with blogs. I don't think that blogs are easy to navigate just yet. When I go to a blog I 'm like, show me a post that is most representative of this blog...
...What social or technical features would you like to see enter the world of blogging? I'd really like to see it become as easy as talking to a group of people... I would like it to be more fluid.

The cadres recruited and trained locally to replace the Afghan-schooled generation may never be of quite the same experience and quality...
...Even Lamont admitted that while he decided to enter the race himself, the blogs had long been hoping someone in Connecticut would take on Lieberman, and their support was crucial early in getting the word of his candidacy out. Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos appeared in one of his early ads, former blogger and Internet organizer Tim Tagaris left his job at the Democratic National Committee to work on Lamont?s campaign, and bloggers from the site mydd.com headed up to Connecticut over the last several days to call voters and encourage them to support Lamont. And MoveOn.org strongly supported...
