Howard Dean and the blogging world

Since a while back, in fact since I got involved in the whole Barcelona.com stuff back in 1999 - as a director - I've been interested in what's happening in the world of US law digital-wise, and following the online postings of various personages such as Michael Geist (Canada) and Lawrence Lessig (US). I even spent some time getting an amicus brief from some of these people.... Hence my ongoing interest in the Internet-meets-law world.

Now Howard Dean - since 12 July - has been posting to Lawrence Lessig's blog, as a guest blogger.

Those of you following the political agenda in the US will know that Dean is emerging as an alternative but distinctly possible candidate for the Democrats, and is managing to raise significant levels of grassroots activism and funds on the Internet.

Dean is achieving exposure on other unexpected online channels too...but it's interesting that this particular one should have been opened up...
