    Blogger Planet By Brian Montopoli, AlterNet
    But the real story was the bloggers themselves, who were treated like a cross between contest winners, celebrities, and caged animals. As Dean spoke onstage, photographers ignored the near-nominee to take pictures of the dazed-looking bloggers listening to him. One cameraman zoomed in on the fingers of blogger Jesse Taylor, of Pandagon, who was taking notes on Dean's speech. He wasn't even blogging – the conference room, after all, did not have a wireless connection.

    Bloggers go mainstream at US conventions By Kevin Anderson, BBC NEWS
    But the buzz this year has been the inclusion of bloggers for the first time.

    Weblogging has renewed some of the early promises of the internet by allowing anyone and everyone to become a publisher.

    It is not surprising that the Democratic Party embraced bloggers, because internet insurgent Howard Dean pioneered the use of weblogs in his campaign.

    The party has accredited some 35 bloggers to cover the convention, and even traditional news outlets like the Associated Press news agency will have a blog, written by veteran political correspondent Walter R Mears.

    And in a reverse media manoeuvre, blogger Ana Marie Cox, better known in Washington and on the web as Wonkette, has leapt off the computer screen onto the small screen, providing convention commentary for MTV.
