(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Thursday, June 06, 2002
In one of the more commonsensical judgments rendered by the warbloggers recently, a gentleman styling himself "Max Power" asks why collaborative "blogs" such as the present Warblogger Watch aren't more popular. He cites "Volokh" and "Oxblog" as demonstrations of the strategy's validity. We didn't need convincing, and we believe Power's recommendations to be so correct as to be patent. Contemplating the warbloggers as a whole, it is certainly obvious that they should consolidate operations to reduce redundancy. There are also issues of synergy and ready relief; Power allows that with amalgamation, the newly allied warbloggers "can feed off of each others' ideas," and when sheer battle fatigue overtakes a heroic combatant, "one blogger can pick up another blogger's slack." Lord knows, there's slack aplenty! posted by Anonymous11:47 AM
