Does all that blogoshere blather matter? Apparently to some. Bloggers of the liberal far left gathered in Las Vegas June 8-11 for Yearly Kos – Uniting the Netroots. The convention is a gathering of liberal political bloggers polarized around the political blog Daily Kos that boasts 600,000 readers per day, more than many daily newspapers. The grass roots convention was the first of its kind and attracted approximately 1,000 attendees. You can just imagine all those tattoed gen-xers showing up in their pajamas.
Well not exactly. To an NPR reporter’s surprise, the blogger attendees at Yearly Kos didn’t quite fit the demographic expected. As reported, many of the attendees “didn’t really look all that ‘bloggy,’ whatever that means. With their gray hair and distinct lack of tattoos they seemed somehow older, or less tech savvy and or just more socially adjusted than people who would be showing up at a blogging conference.”
Stand by NPR and other traditional media. Blogs will continue to attract mainstream participants – afterall a blog is just a technological interface that allows non-techie people to publish online. That is why they are so powerful and will play a part of the transformation of media.
