Beltway Bloggers Worth Emulating

If your first reaction upon clicking open Change.gov was "ooh, a blog!" you probably weren't alone. Alas, thus far, this first presidential blog consists of press-release posts like one announcing the hiring of Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff. (You'll have to take my word for it at the moment, though. The site is down. Again. Seriously, Change.gov goes down more often than the Dow Industrial Average. What gives?)
Yes, yes, I know -- Obama will be the first Internet president and all that, but it's not like in coming to DC he'll be rolling into a ghost town. There are some good bloggers on the ...

Surely you've heard of the Obama-Biden Transition Project and know it's a 501c(4) organization, right? Have you visited the official website at change.gov, read the blog, and shared your vision for America?

Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Barack Obama's campaign promise to use the Internet to "create a transparent and connected democracy" will be put to the test when he launches a new White House Web site on January 20.
On that day, the Bush administration's stodgy, wheezing version of whitehouse.gov will be carted off to the National Archives in its entirety, leaving precisely no legacy - and no limits.
Obama is already being touted as the first Internet president, but the Internet is about more than e-mail blasts and rallying the likeminded. If he and his team truly embrace the paradigms of the modern Internet - as defined by ...

Daily Digest: General Daschle Mobilizing Army for Looming Health Care Fight
techPresident —
The Organizing Phase of Health Care Reform: Obama's HHS appointee Tom Daschle has taken to the transition website Change.gov to respond to comments about how to cure what ails the American health landscape. But, of course, "interactivity" isn't necessarily limited to the web. The Washington Post's Ceci Connolly has a fascinating look at how the former senator from South Dakota is hosting a closed conference call with a thousand supporters culled from 10,000 with an interest in health care. And the HHS appointee is also ...
