No, not Tapscott’s Copy Desk, at least not now, but Danny Glover ‘s superb Beltway Blogroll at National Journal. Danny is leaving his position as managing editor of NJ’s Tech Daily.
His farewell post at Beltway Blogroll, which he started several years ago as a way of chronicling the growing influence of blogs in the nation’s capitol, is well worth reading, both because he provides a handy summary of the rise of blog influence in the daily life of Washington politics and policy, and because Danny is among the most creative and prolific bloggers anywhere.
For example, besides Beltway Blogroll, Danny is also the mastermind of AirCongress, which is a valuable resource on congressional media, Taxation with Representation, which focuses on the magnitude of taxation in America, and U.S. Presidential Homes. By the way, the latter is the fruit of his family touring the various presidential homes around the country and writing about them on the blog.
And don’t be surprised if Danny shows up with more blogs, as he notes in his farewell that:
“I’ve already bought an Internet address for one, and ever since former President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998, I’ve owned his legacy — the domain names clintonlegacy.com and clintonlegacy.net. Those could come in handy in the blogosphere if his wife, Hillary, is elected president later this year.
“All of which is to say that even though Beltway Blogroll is coming to a close, I’ll still be around the blogosphere. Plus the start of my full-time career move into Internet video is just days away. If any of you want to keep in touch going forward, you can e-mail me at [email protected].”
Obviously, this guy is one of the true gems of the Blogosphere.
