I read quite a few different types of blogs - I have my runners and triathletes, my boys who wax poetic about the demise of print media, of course all the usual 'social media' big boys (and girls) that have developed entire careers around web 2.0, my snarky social commentary bloggers, hell, on occasion, I read mommy blogs just to remind me why I haven't had kids yet.
However, even though my netvibes account has several different tabs for each genre, it seems they have all, in the last week, become political blogs. Folks who normally just update the web on their marathon training are suddenly leaving commentary on why McCain might not be the best choice. Scoble has a desperate plea to all Democrats to make this election matter. Spots (who, lets face it, always kind of covers politics) is calling Palin to task for trying to 'pray away the gay.' It is amazing.
Twitter, my new best friend, is suffering the same kind of single-minded stream of conversation. I am not complaining. I think it is great. It is exciting to see the web-savvy American public focus on one very important thing. It gives me hope.
UPDATE: My runner from the above link developed a whole new blog for his political views, therefore allowing his training blog to remain a training blog - all this means for me is I now have ANOTHER blog on my netvibes to follow.
