Edwards Launches democro-macro-techno-blog
Ex-Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) has a new, dynamic, interactive and flashily-designed blog.

It's more of a website, really. The host calls it "blogocracy" which sounds suspiciously like "technocracy," because there are lots of rules and guidelines and funny quirks. Some are sensible, and others are experimentally weird. They're designed to induce participation.

For example: "The new blog is also what we call a 'blogocracy,' meaning that you, the online community, determine which user articles are posted. Here's how it works. When a user creates a blog entry and presses "submit," that entry is not immediately posted to the blog. Instead, it goes into a holding area called the "Voting Booth" where other users can view it. If someone likes it, he or she will give it a thumbs-up vote. If he/she doesn't like it, he/she will give it a thumbs-down vote. If an entry gets ten or more thumbs up votes, it gets posted. If it gets three or more thumbs-down votes, it gets tossed. That way, you guys act as quality-control officers, and you get to determine what we talk about on the blog. "
