Welcome to the Blogosphere, Governor

Tennessee's Gov. Phil Bredesen has started a blog. [Hat tip: Blake Wylie.] Welcome to the blogosphere, Gov. Bredesen. Now, make it interactive by adding a comments feature. Don't be afraid to let the public post comments on your blog! And, er, where's the RSS feed?

As for Tennessee's state legislators, they can all start blogs at VolPols.com for free if they so desire. I'll have some more news on that in a few days.

Re Phil's blog, Adam Groves comments: "It seems that Bredesen's political advisors 'get' at least one key advantage of blogging- it provides for a personalization with a web audience that doesn't seem to be available with other web media. As Tennessee politicans continue to recognize the power of blogs, blogs will continue their upward movement of influence on Tennessee politics."

UPDATE: Watch for a story in tomorrow's Knoxville News Sentinel about Phil's blog, by reporter Michael Silence.

UPDATE 2: No story today, for some reason. Now it's up: Governor getting his own Web log

Oh, the bandwidth. Remember all those people driving around and around the capital honking their horns - image the same type of action on Bred's comment box. It would be a pain, and thus ignored.

Here's my KNS story. Due to some technical problem, it was late getting posted. LINK
