At the start
: Michele recalls the start of the amazing Command Post.
She and the site aren’t getting enough credit for their impact on news. This group blog did a phenomenal job finding, editing, selecting, and presenting the very latest and best news on the war. Nobody but nobody did that better. They showed the true potential of weblogs and editing by mob; they showed us the future of collaborative news. No, they didn’t report. They edited the world and did a great job of it. Hats off.
Thanks, Jeff!
In a perverse way, the lack of praise shows something more important than praise. The Command Post came along out of nowhere, and immediately became absolutely essential reading for everyone who cares about these issues. It is hard to imagine not having it around. It is part of the landscape.
But, yes, of course: Bravo to Command Post.
Ditto to Lexington Green’s comments. The Command Post is essential reading and a fabulous piece of work.
Thanks Jeff, and thanks to everyone who reads the Post.
Ta most muchly.
