"The heavyweight contenders are in the Open Source ring. That’s Glen Reynolds of Instapundit in the Tennessee Libertarian trunks. And that’s Jerome Armstrong of MyDD and Daily Kos in the colors of California and the Opposition.

They’re both out in hard covers now: Reynolds — a sort of Goliath among the “war bloggersâ€? on the way to Iraq — has the nerve to call his book “An Army of Davids.â€? Armstrong — co-authoring with Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, a.k.a. Kos — is locating himsef in “Crashing the Gatesâ€? somewhere in the mystery zone between the implosion of the Howard Dean insurgency and the new establishment of electronic Democrats.

Bloggers, let’s get it on! Do we still believe in the Web transformation? Is it Right? Is it Left? Is it real yet? We’re expected to be wary now of “blog triumphalism,â€? but what if the new tech is still underhyped? Or is it already commercialized beyond recognition?"
