I was watching the "world news" night before last and they had an interesting discussion about one of the presidential candidates - I believe it was Edwards - who had put some bloggers to work on his staff to conduct surveys and get information concerning his upcoming bid for the presidency. They said that amid the controversial issue of using these bloggers and the internet to conduct their survey, that Edwards was so impressed with the work that they had done that he plans to keep them on his staff throughout the entire time that he is running for office.

I thought this was an exciting application of something that all too often we think takes up too much of our time. Who would have thought that blogging could have such an exciting application? I guess that blogging is something that everyone should know how to do and something that all of us need to take an active role in. I wonder if our schools would change their opinions about blog sites if they knew that they had such potential - perhaps changing the course of our country. It certainly gives us something to ponder and consider while we are blogging for our class.

I want to try and find this blog site when I get a moment - does anyone out there have any idea where I might look? Maybe someone has even seen the blog site itself. Let me know.
