As for all online political activity being necessarily partisan, that's definitely not the case. My post highlights (but doesn't elaborate on) some of the other issues that are being dealth with online that have political ramifications: environment (ie aluminum smelters), reprodutive rights, governance, the economy, education system. As for the other side of the digital divide, I'd like to know what's going on. The medium of choice here may be talk radio, but I'm really interested in what youths are doing. What is the level of political consciousness? And yeah, camera phones and YouTube do raise some yummy possibilities *remembers Danah Alleyne* Hey thanks for that Danah Boyd link.
