Jim Moore: “The Dean campaign is no longer a momentum play. Momentum investors are going to go toward Kerry, or stay with the ultimate momentum stock, George W Bush.” [Scripting News]
How Do Blogs Help Your Company?. Someone asked me how blogs help companies, and I've been giving it some thought. My first response is that it makes me better at my job, and it connects me with others that care about the same things I do…. [John Porcaro: mktg@msft]
I really like this post. Its as thoughtful as it is insightful. Its a question that I have been pondering for some time now. Could it be that it puts a human face on corporations? This works internally as well as externally because it creates a kind of interaction that is simply not possible over the phone, in email, or IM. Scoble was right all along. (Not that I ever doubted him.)
Sen. Edwards in Springfield, MO
Thanks to a little help from Ed Cone, I'll be at the Sen. Edwards campaign event here in Springfield. I'll do a write up similar to my summary of Wesley Clark's appearance here. Expect audio, too.
What superhero would *you* be?
Jill asks the question none dare ask out loud:
What would you do?. If you could be a superhero, who would it be and why?
I would want to be Batman (well, woman). I would be rich and have all kinds of cool gagets. All without being a mutant. And I could have a cute male sidekick in tights! [jillnews News]

Election Year 2004 = The Year of the Weblog.
The mainstream press is starting to take notice of the power weblogs are having on the presidential election cycle. Look for this momentum to carry well beyond November 2004.
“A powerful new networking tool for the politically plugged-in and hangers-on, the constant online chatter broadens campaign discourse and accelerates the news cycle.
Such journals, known as blogs, may not be doing much to sway undecided voters, but analysts say they strongly impact the media, campaign consultants and activists.”
Blogging of the President, tomorrow night, 9-11 eastern, on public radio, although apparently not on WUNC or WFDD — but no worries, you can listen online. Jarvis has a list of the contributors, including (as noted in his comment section) me.
