Technorati Covering the Elections

technorati.gif

Technorati.com is the place to go to see the latest in what bloggers are saying about the national elections. Their Political Attention Index charts the most popular blog entries in close to real time. What we see on TV and read in the papers is filtered through many layers of editorial oversight. Reading weblog posts can give you a better idea of what issues people are really thinking about. Political bloggers tend to be unabashedly biased and open in their views - not always a good thing in my opinion if it creates more divisiveness in our already polarized country. But, interesting and informative nonetheless.

Kudos to CEO David Sifry and the team at Technorati!
