OK - so apparently I'm not the only one to think that if the venerated Financial Times "got" UK election weblogs, they would make them accessible to the masses.....
Hell...this article from the New Economist shows that even THEY are exempt from the subscription that Zero Five (The Financial Times Election Blog) is subject to, and they note how important election blogs have/ will be in this election. And I must stress how important this particular blog will be.
Has the Financial Times finally grasped the potential significance of weblogs in accelerating the dissemination of news and comment, and influencing political debates? I don't think so.
If the FT really 'got' weblogs why oh why would they have put their 2005 election weblog Zero Five by Steve McGookin behind a subscriber firewall - thus preventing most bloggers from linking to it?
Most people will never know. The rest of you can link here, and read for yourself.
