Go Dutch
: Lots of action in Dutch government blogs. Adam Curry gets the Socialist Party to blog. Eurosavant gives us a newspaper story on Dutch government blogging from the finance minister, the state secretary for education, and a rep of the Christian Democrats.
Note that unlike other technologies, America has absolutely no advantage over any other country in citizens media. Holland, Iran, Iraq, anybody can beat us.
Yeah, but we got the advantage in citizens band media: 10-4 good buddy! Got yer ears on? What’s yer 20? Cuz there’s a Smokey at the choke n’ puke at marker two-four-niner! I’m east-bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
Can you really be “beat”? I think the development of a “citizen’s media” in all those countries might do the U.S. a world of good.
Unless, of course, it all turns out to be like Indymedia!!
