Democratic Convention Joint Blogger Coverage
I thought I'd write a short entry about a new site that we've put up pretty quickly for the Democratic Convention. We're building a joint blogging platform that aggregates in the different bloggers who are covering the Democratic Convention.
It's a Drupal site that aggregates different bloggers. It filters the blogs by keywords, and automatically assigns appropriate tags to the blogs, and then builds different pages based on those taxonomies.
At the moment we have 31 of the 124 bloggers at the convention aggregating their streams (including me). We're also pulling in some pictures, videos, and other content from the Internet.
After the convention we intend to expand this model to cover political and placeblogger sites from around the country.
