Guest Bloggers
A new guest blogger: Howard Dean……
That’s the title of a post I just read on Lawrence Lessig’s weblog. What a concept ….having guest bloggers. I like it, especially since the guest blogger is a former governor and a presidential candidate. That makes it even more interesting for us.
The post has prompted 58 comments, so far. I wonder if that is a record.
Lessig is going on vacation for a week. He writes…..
This is, I believe, the first time a presidential candidate has been a guest blogger. But it is an obvious extension of blogs and the process of becoming President. Campaigns are all about meeting different groups and talking about ideas. Where better than a blog?
I have great respect for Governor Dean, and especially the clarity of his voice. I have even greater respect now that I see the doctor makes house calls. So Governor, welcome to this tiny server at Stanford: You¢â¡Áll find perfect acoustics provided by MovableType, and an interesting mix of views provided by the readers.
He adds one ground rule…..
One ground rule: I’ve had a policy of not editing comments of others, regardless of abusiveness. That is not my policy for my guests. You may disagree with the views you read here. But if you are reading them here, then you at least should respect the fact that they are being expressed here. It is important to me that blog-space everywhere become a place where more of this kind of conversation can occur. So trolls, please save your abuse for my return.
I look forward to this week’s readings. Guest bloggers…. yet again, another interesting twist in the world of blogs.
As I’ve said before…… blogs can be anything you want them to be, right?
