C-SPAN, the conventions and bloggers
August 21st, 2008 | by David Mastio |C-Span has launched a new site for the upcoming Democratic convention that is going to highlight selected blog posts discussing the goings on in Denver. If you are interested in getting some attention for your site, you have to submit individual posts through a form on the bottom left of the page. (GOP version is here.) Tech Crunch has a review.
Good luck and if anyone has experience on how well it works, how quickly posts get added and how much traffic comes through, please share the info in comments.
Update: One of my flaws as the editor of BNN over the last couple years is that I am nowhere near self-promoty enough. A friend of mine at the company that helped C-Span produce these sites (New Media Strategies) reminded me that BlogNetNews.com was a major resource for identifying the state-level blogs that the sites would track to find new posts about the conventions. One of the advantages that BNN provides to the blogosphere is that by compiling and tracking the most important blogs on the state and local level, we make it easier for other folks in the media to track what bloggers are saying as well.

How thankful I am to have left the democratic party when I reached maturity
With the dust, funerals and lawsuits barely settled since the Muslims from Saudi Arabia took down the twin towers, the broadminded democrat party nominates a Muslim raised, Muslim sympathetic man of many religions as their best choice for President of Christian Identity America.
Now that is liberality at the edge of socialism.
God save the Republic.
