Yesterday I interviewed David Weinberger for my newspaper column, which this week will focus on campaign weblogs. Here’s a teaser from my conversation with the good doctor -- Howard Dean’s Senior Internet Advisor -- about the differences between the old broadcast model of campaigning and the emerging weblog style:
“This is more than a cultural clash, bellbottoms versus three button suits, it’s epistemological. How do we learn to believe stuff? This question has touched everything the Web has touched. For medical information, how do you understand the sometimes lethal advice you get on the Net? How is it vetted? How do you know to trust sources? It’s going to happen very soon in the political realm.”
More on Sunday.
