I have to wonder how progressive "blogging for progress" really is. It's a nice thought, but who does it reach? Sometimes it seems like the only people who read these blogs are the tiny chunk of American teens who vote and care about politics, who are already interested in the things discussed on the site. I'm going to take a guess and say that most of the 1077 guests currently online saw the site through fastweb, and are hoping for a scholarship. At least half of them will probably be turned off by the so-called progressive content (which really, I think it is progressive, only, we may be preaching to the choir) and leave. Then a good chunk of those, like me, will sign up, but rarely (if at all) post.
Then comes the question of, for those who do post, what good are they doing? Is blogging really an effective way of engaging yourself? It's definitely better than nothing though, I must admit. Engaged users are definitely better citizens than I am.
