[Air-l] Blogging basics?

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

actually, yes, it is a given.  the adoption of new technologies falls  
into the progressive and not the conservative end of one of the  
politico-normative axes.   another axis is liberal-authoritarian.   
another can be theist - atheist, and yet another might be capitalist- 
socialist.   this is not to say that bloggers are universally big 'P'  
progressives, which is what you seem to be getting at, but it is to  
say that at least in one aspect of their life they have chosen  
something progressive and that they might be willing to pursue other  
changes.  progressive and Progressive are two different things  
though.  so a progressive authoritarian theist capitalists is  
something to think about.... what would they be progressing toward?    
anyway the axes aren't binary oppositions though, just spectrums to  
think about and measure.  I doubt that choosing new technology  is  
going to be a strong indicator, but in certain populations it might be.
