poblish is a new ‘hub’ for the political blogosphere, with many of the negatives taken out (‘personality’, anonymity, intrigue, gossip, party interference, etc.), plus 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.
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 use this site to read, and to search, but you will need to sign up (it’s free, of course) if you want to:
- Register – and publicise – your own blog(s) and feed(s).
- Contribute to other people’s articles.
- Follow other people, create custom feeds, join groups, and receive daily digest emails.
- Rate, flag, or favourite other people’ contributions.
- Build a reputation as an Editor, by picking out relevant articles for others.
