Clearing the Cache: Blog Action Day, But Look Who's (No Longer) AWOL [UPDATED]

  • Today is Blog Action Day, and it looks like a huge number--nearly 10,000--have signed up to post on climate action issues.
  • Most notable in that list, beyond all the usual enviro sites: Prime Minister Gordon Brown's blog, and the official Google blog.
  • Notably missing from that list (at least as of midday): The White House blog and the Environmental Protection Agency's blog. UPDATE: The White House blog joins in with a post this evening from Heather Zichal, Deputy Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change, at 6:36pm. Better late than never. But the EPA is still AWOL.
  • Our pal Todd Ziegler of the Bivings Group offers his detailed critique of the new GOP.com site. It's good, bad and ugly.
  • How to follow GOP insiders on Twitter live, from TalkingPointsMemo. (h/t TechRepublican.com)
  • Or just subscribe to Patrick Ruffini's "Republican political operatives" Twillist group.
  • The Pirate Party may be taking off in Europe (see Antoni Gutierrez-Rubi's report), but here in the U.S. its putative leaders are couchsurfing.
  • Sunlight Labs offers its ideas on redesigning the FCC's ancient website. The FCC tweets back, calling the redesign "approachable."

Redesign

What made the FCC redesign different was the content. Most visitors find it difficult to understand the vast majority of the content for good reason: it can be highly-technical, and the FCC's operations are foreign to most people. Not only that, but information tends to be scattered throughout the existing site, making for a significant challenge to find it.
