We refer to TechDirt a lot here on TLF because of the good information and analysis there, and the engagement of its writers on policy issues. I want to throw props to another Tech[Something] blog, though – TechCrunch.
I’ve been reading it for a while now. TechCrunch is very forward-looking in terms of Web apps and information business. I ain’t gonna lie to ya’ – I don’t understand everything I see there. But I don’t understand everything I see on the bus either – and that’s still interesting and entertaining.
I’m particularly pleased with TechCrunch because of the acknowledgement it gave yesterday to WashingtonWatch.com.
I like WashingtonWatch because it translates Bills into understandable costs and allows direct and collaborative feedback before the Bill is voted on. These are new web ideas put to work in a tangible and useful form. I hope our elected representatives are among the readers.
The other day, I blogged about how technology-aided transparency may defeat the twin scourges of rational ignorance and rational inaction in the area of politics and public policy. TechCrunch sees the vision.
The Technology Liberation Front is the tech policy blog dedicated to keeping politicians' hands off the 'net and everything else related to technology.
