Really interesting analysis of the power of the Internet by the really interesting (and usually spot on political analyst) Nate Silver:
“Let me advance a proposition for you. It’s going to be a controversial one. Ready?
The proposition is this: the Internet is really important!
OK, so I’m joking — sort of. That tagline sounds so … 2006. But I think people may nevertheless be overlooking the importance of the Internet in shaping the political landscape that we have today. In other words, a lot of the things that feel “new” about politics circa 2009 are in fact new, but have a lot more to do with information technology than is generally acknowledged.”
