Your blogs are so insightful, clear and concise that even non-sports fans like me can read and understand them without having to think too hard. I hope that there is some way that you can let Chris Cooley know about your blog so that while he's at home recuperating, he can read and enjoy them. And, oh yeah, ask him to provide more pictures of him and his shorts! Way to go Kate!

However, I read through several of your last posts, and I finally understand how online blogs, Twitter, comments and posts can influence the development of the news and even become the news. The speed of how news spreads on the Internet, and how groups can form around a common theme or perception is a powerful tool. I found it really interesting how one site acts like an aggregator of opinion and news for a group that desires to have its own opinion reflected. It seems to me that this kind of migration both widens the consumption of news while it narrows the ideological window through which that news is seen. The word that you use, revolutionaries, is very apt - I think that these tools, this speed of communciation, aggregation and dissemination are the most important tools for the spread of social revolution -- whether it is in the realm of sports or politics.
