Bridging the Left-Right Blog Divide
A couple of weeks ago I posted about a study on the influence of blogs in the 2004 election. What was most interesting to me was that The Jawa Report was named 20th most influential conservative blog for that time period. The crux of the report, though, was that left and right leaning blogs rarely communicate with one another. For instance, this site had the distinction of not a single influential left-leaning blog linking to The Jawa Report. Probably because not a single influential left-leaning blog knows The Jawa Report exists!

Simon has a great essay on this divide between left and right and encourages some more civil intra-blogosphere debate. I agree.

Can I get an award for not being able to get a single right-leaning blog to link to me? Yes, I know, you linked to me last night. I'm talking about blogrolls.

Odd you should mention this now. I'm wrapping up a blogversation with Raven's Blog right now. We've shamelessly stolen the Slate Breakfast Table format (which Slate shamelessly stole from Point-Counterpoint), and we expect to publish the result on our respective blogs soon. We were hoping to demonstrate that right and left blogs can still discuss issues in a civil manner. I think we've succeeded.

Hopefully you will. What is interesting is that I've seen a lot of blogs try that format only to stop after only a few weeks. Good luck and best success.

A centrist blog called depthomelandinsecurity.blogspot.com references Jawa.
