Blogs In Action: Nick Robinson
February 26, 2008Nick Robinson’s blog seems to have provoked a reaction from MPs.
It’s unusual for an MP to comment directly on a blog.
I’m wondering if this is a small but significant breakthrough. If MPs start to join the conversation things may be changing faster than I thought.

I did see the column in Ariel. Not much point in asking people anything if you are going to ignore them. Rather depends on what you ask them of course.

He seems to have ruffled a few feathers.
I don’t know if the response counts as ‘joining the conversation’ but it certainly is a departure from the norm.

Impersonation is what worries me most about blog comments at the moment. We really need some sort of standard. Though the registration system for the PM blog (soon to be elsewhere as I understand it) seems a step in the right direction…

It feels like it’s him. I think you just have to trust him.
