Watching the form of Political Betting dot Com: The £64,000 Question

This morning, I have a post over at Poliblog Perspective looking at some new developments being considered at politicalbetting.com:

In organisation, Political Betting is as much a forum as it is a blog; it is like a forum site which, rather than having conversations organised around “topics”, posts a single thread each day as decided by Mike Smithson the site owner, and occasionally one or two others.

Each thread attracts hundreds of comments (the constant reloads increase have the effect of increasing the page impressions figures, as mentioned above).

However, changes are afoot.

Mike Smithson is one of the UK’s first full time political bloggers (”political probloggers”), and the rest of us can learn from how he gets on.

You can access my Poliblog Perspective blog (”The Nuts and Bolts of Political Blogging”) via the “Perspective” button on the toolbar, or you can subscribe to the RSS feed for Poliblog Perspective to keep up to date with my commentary about political blogging.

Read it all.
