On Friday of this week, something amazing happened. Since Freshy SEO is not a political blog, I will not get into the politics of the situation, but simply focus on the the roll of Web 2.O in the Republican Revolt in the United States House of Representatives.
On Friday, which was the last day of the Congressoinal session, there were a bunch of Representatives lined up to give their customary end-of-session five-minute speeches. The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, turned out the lights, in an extraordinary move, turned off the microphones, and apparently even had the water taken away. The Republicans kept talking, in the dark, and calling for a vote on the Congressional ban on Drilling.
The only reason we still know about this, is because of iRadio, and blogs like Free Republic. As I said earlier, I’m not going to get into the political ramifications here - instead, I want to make the point that this is a real victory for Web 2.0. The Main Stream Media could not do a good job of covering the even t inside the capital, at all, and they have not done a good job of covering the event since then. However, thanks to live streaming via Qik, iRadio like BTR, and Townhall.com, and numerous blogs starting with BTR, we now know the story.
Go, Web 2.0!
