Nice video on the work of bloggers in the Big Tent: “Link TV Producer, John Hamilton, meets several new media journalists who are covering this Democratic Convention from “The Big Tent,” where beer and high speed wi-fi flow copiously..”
From a Twitter contact John Culberson, US Congressman, 77th District, Texas:
“I just learned the Dems are trying to censor Congressmen’s ability to use Twitter Qik YouTube Utterz etc – outrageous and I will fight them.”
Hmm, sounds serious: “The Committee on House Administration is considering a new rule that could bring this trend to a screeching halt. The Committee is considering the adoption of new rules that would require outside websites such as YouTube to comply with House regulations before Members of Congress could post videos on them. Under the proposal, the House Administration Committee would develop a list of “approved” websites, and Members of Congress could post content only such websites.”
