The Digerati's white collar populism



Here's Matt Garland's crit of 'The Personal Democracy Forum':

"But the more I read it, the more clear it is that the professors, bloggers, campaign consultants, journalists and good-government activists behind the site are motivated by an anemic, professionalized kind of populism. This digerati hope that the web, blogs, instant messaging, and other interactive technologies will deepen democracy by increasing the quality and quantity of citizen participation, but their notion of that participation is narrow."


Quite perceptive, I reckon?
