Halfway through the first night they still had a blog post titled "One Hour to Go." And just foggettabat Twitter. They've followed NBCOlympics.com down the Microsoft Silverlight so that the live video isn't accessible (or easily accessible) to various operating systems. It's all so 2004. For all the talk of democracy and participation the convention is being treated as an old fashioned show to passively watch. It's a shame.<BR/><BR/>Check out CSPAN's site though. They actually have a page outputting the #dnc08 hash (I've gotten a kick seeing my own comments show up there). They're way ahead of the official site.Martin Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999620933648327663noreply@blogger.com
