Welcome to poblish
We're a new 'hub' for the political blogosphere, without 'personalities', anonymity, intrigue, gossip, party interference; plus we offer some new ways of working that bloggers aren't used to using:
- Collaborative editing, as an alternative to the comment-box: every post is a Wiki.
- Accountability: we maintain a timeline of actions for every 'political actor' (whether an MP, a blogger, a reader), so that all actions may be seen in context.
- Scrutiny: all member blogs are aggregated, irrespective of party, faction, nationality, etc.; and posts are matched by content, irrespective of the fame or popularity of the source blog.
- Not only are we the biggest political blog directory in the UK, we aggregate more blogs than any other service.
Use poblish...
- To search the political blogosphere in real-time.
- To debate issues with light rather than heat.
- To obtain custom data feeds that are impossible to find elsewhere. We believe in Open Data.
You can read more at Poblish's blog, and follow us on Twitter. More coverage here, here, and here.
