i'm in a meeting discussing the use of blogs to capture and disseminate information within public sector agencies.
we start discussing the pitfalls of blogs, and means to make them work effectively (and not be time-traps or underutilised). in response to the question of "social behaviour" in and around blogs i state, "look, no one here is interested in our site becoming a kiwiblog".
cue: entire room laughing.

Should you go look, scroll down & start from here
D4J,
About time you showed up.
This debate needs to be dragged back from the left and put where it should be."
You'll miss James Cairney's worthy list and most everything else on there that made sense...
But trust me, this is s special comment thread.

How do you get to have such interesting meetings?
I still get blank stares when I say the word "wiki".

Try just reading DPFs entries without clicking into the threads - at that level it's actually a pretty good site with interesting links and commentary.

have tried it. makes me want to hurt small animals.
although, i haven't read him for about 6 months. maybe the level of commentary has lifted.

Actually I think he's kind of sliding; it's now very much a National Party Blog instead of the blog of someone who supports the National Party - but he's still head and shoulders above any other right-wing NZ politics site.

i believe that is called "damning with faint praise"

Shit. And I started out trying to be nice.
In general I like to look at opinions and comments about news and current events from people I disagree with. I already know what I think about political issues but I'm interested to hear from an articulate and informed person on the other side of the fence.
In the US blogophere it's getting harder and harder to find such a voice - the right wing blogs are either coming out for Obama or disappearing into fantasy land - but DPF still fills that role in New Zealand.

true. DPF is rational and is increasingly even handed. if all we had to go on was lunatics like whale oil or sir humphries...
i agree about reading opposing viewpoints and the like. but... i barely read pro-left sites these days. cynicism and politics-overload means my uptake of information is tightly governed.
i just don't have the time to upload spin of any flavour. i thought getting rid of tv would free up time, but i'm actually finding it harder to make time these days than when i watched two or three hours a night!!
but to return to the point. we'll have to wait and see if DPF keeps up the rationality around election time. my money is on "not".
