Colburn pointed me to the Carnegie website Crisis In Iraq, which appears, like the Volokh Conspiracy, to be a multi-authored blog type deal with a bevy of brains on the back end. Clearly they are pushing and selling their own analyses, but there is plenty of free content. My ego immediately told me that this can be the wave of the future, an important development in the disintermediation of major media - a fascinating detour in the information supply chain. In XR terms, Carnegie could be a private house which is federated into multiple republics. Or they could simply be a special resource for XR citizens cobranded with the Republic's sponsors and thereby available at a lower per customer cost. When you understand that your policy terms are incorporated into a community of decision makers, and resolution crafting, putting them directly into the computer mediated deliberation machinery is an excellent benefit. As I am seeing in the blogosphere multiple heads are better than one. These new subject matter expert domains, public think tanks, as it were, are smaller than newpapers and involve people with deeper insights than journalists. As they write for audiences a bit more self-selected than general media but a bit less sophisticated than those who subscribe to $1000 journals, an interesting new medium can develop. 10:20:39 AM comment []
