The government have agreed to shelve 42 days - thank Christ (or, more accurately, Liberty) for that. There is hope for the country yet. Also, big shout out to any Ma...

Reputational Short-Selling (16 mins ago)

Spreading false rumours is a sort of reputational short-selling. You see. Even writers can be guilty of the most heinous crimes. This, from Digg's site chief execut...

More new blogs / Irritant - 4 comments

Two more blogs scraped in before close-of-play, Lost in Westminster - which has an interesting article about whether Labour members really understand Labour voters, plus an incredible photo of the Rt Hon. Alistair Darling - and Tacticalvoter.

Meanwhile, I'm currently testing (ultra-minimalist) login and registration forms, so you'll soon have access to the blog lists yourself.

Meanwhile, irritant enquires of us what we think about a documentary that claims Britain provides the USA with intelligence to kidnap and torture (presumably, terrorist) suspects. Well nobody here joined the Labour Party, or supports it, for those reasons. What a murky business 'state security' is. IMHO, anyone who can shine a light in deserves to be commended.

By the way, on the issue of whether Bloggers4Labour is really a blog itself, and whether it will spout opinions in the usual blogging manner, well, I don't think there will be much of this. I'm happy to invite other Administrators (contact me if you're an existing blogger and are interested) who think they could give Bloggers4Labour a voice of its own, but in general I'll try to keep posts down to:
  • Announcements of new blogs.
  • Issues directly relevant to Labour communications/internet issues, etc.
  • Replies to posts written about us, or mentioning us.
  • Anything else pertaining to the running of this site.
Besides, when it comes to posting I have plenty of work to do on Hove Labour 2005 - should prove to be an interesting campaign on the (hopefully) sunny South Coast...

I think your site is a good initiative.

Have you thought of using the feeds from the various Labour-supporting sites to aggregate content from those sites in one place, rather than just having a blogroll? It might end up something like Harvard Law's blog aggregator.

I tend to agree unless there is an active and vigorous blogging campaing blogs wont make that much of an impact on the coming elections. The ordinary in the street would have to read them more often (if at all?) for it too happen with it.

Don't forget the impact on the search engines: blogs tend to show up particularly well there. Then again, how many people use the internet at all? You might well swing more votes knocking doors on one street for a couple of hours. Still, we're not replacing these methods, and many of us never get to experience the personal touch.

I wasn't consistent, was I?!
