My older, wiser brother Steve reports that Technorati‘s Dave Sifry will be a talking head on CNN’s convention coverage. He says: “Just as CNN continues to provide the gavel–to-gavel coverage the networks used to do, its alliance with Technorati validates the voice and authority of the blogosphere. In effect, CNN becomes the first bridge between the broadcast age and the peer-to-peer age of the real-time network.”
I wouldn’t go that far, given that CNN is the network that told a staffer who had a blog to stop, but it’s definitely a sign of progress.
