[lbo-talk] Kos on Marches

[Max Sawicky]

Right.  Kos gets huge traffic, like a tv network or mass circulation
newspaper.  As Nathan says, he's opened up a new source of funding.
These are major achievements, not least because the technology allows
for more active, real-time participation than television or print.  But
the numbers of those who post is much smaller.  More interesting than
what the Kos site is is what it might become.

I'm confused. Several hundred posters to a blog are a greater social 
force than over a hundred thousand people gathered in the nation's 
capital in a demonstration that received sympathetic coverage in all 
the major media?
