Writer Robert J. McNamara takes a look at how blog culture -- the blogosphere -- has developed at lightning speed and staked out valuable territory on the American political scene. No one had heard of blogs a few years ago, but today some bloggers have risen to quasi-celebrity status among news junkies. And blogs are now deemed so important in reaching a coveted audience -- those who are intensely interested in politics -- that the major political parties not only host blogs but are actually starting to give press credentials to do-it-yourself bloggers. Spell that R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

      What the [bleep] is a blog? a lot of people might ask. Well, whatever it may be, it's changing communication worldwide. "Blog," short for "Web log," is many things--diary, journal, and a tool to break news, spread dissent, sway opinions. It is this last form that McNamara tackles with great aplomb. For in the 2004 election year, political tides were made and turned thanks in part to blogs, as major political parties and public figures joined the blogging trend. Enjoy this audiobook for its prescience, lively reading (the ever enjoyable Grover Gardner is at the helm), and topical wit. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
