delegation in beijing thought it would be good for him to start a blog. now he has nearly 200,000 followers. >> i saw a recent poll of the most popular foreigners in china. and the top one with 2 million was tom cruise. but by the time you got to four or five they were down below 180,000. so this would put him up around the top 3-4 most popular foreigners in china. >> what ask does he have to say? >> i think i am more than those guys r. that's nice. >> ha-ha. break. >> his words are nothing to laugh at. his blog keeps his readers up-to-date on his day-to-day working life and mundane things like the traffic in beijing. he blogs from his phone, many fans say chinese politicians would never be so down to earth. it is a great opportunity to reach a chinese audience. >> it is a platform for 200 million people, i think, one of the biggest in the globe. being present there is very important. and they have a dialogue among them. >> i am also interested in some european issues like the debt crisis. so it helps to get some information about his opinions about this

>> it is a blog written by me. the goal is to explain wikipedia to people who read it but do not understand how it works. >> how did you get into it? >> getting into wikipedia has been a long process. i do not know the first time i first read it. by the middle of the last decade, i was spending hours and long weekends immersed in wikipedia. after a while, i was interested in editing. it started simple. i fixed minor things. then i got more confident and i read more about how wikipedia worked. i became more involved. then willing to share my knowledge is what led to that. >> do you work for wikipedia? >> no. >> is it for profit? >> it is not for profit. there are no ads on it. i write about how i think it works, should work and try to explain interesting stories about wikipedia to people who might be interested. >> talk to people about wikipedia if you do not know -- who do not know much about it. >> wikipedia refers to itself as a free encyclopedia that anyone can add it. it is an encyclopedia. that is a little too

smith: he obviously blogs, but beyond, uh, blogging, he reports in a way that takes the events of the day on a minute-by-minute basis and makes sense of them. downie: yes. smith: .provides context and. downie: even has a staff of his own to help him with that report. smith: and has, how often does chris appear in the newspaper? downie: uh, he appears in the newspaper a few times a week with essentially things drawn from his blog that appear in the paper. smith: the bulk of his work, though, is not done for print. downie: the bulk of his work is done, is done for the web. smith: and the result of, of all this activity, this frenetic, peripatetic activity is that chris cillizza is now known around the world as a brand almost separate from the washington post. downie: yes. please don't say that too often because he already has a big head. smith: he would need a bigger staff, he might want a bigger salary. i guess the point i'm making is that there wasn't, there was a time not too long ago when newspapers like the post, when media organizations, um, frowned on the idea that the individual

you may get much more bang for your buck with a blog that has a small audience. >> blogs are perfect. >> there's also nowing a d ingi regators. there's a site called clout. these sites will allow you to go and figure out who the influencers are in that space. you can talk to them via twitter, facebook, linkedin, and build a relationship with them. if they're communicating with you, it's raising your eyeballs to the brand because they are an influencer. using these tools can really hone in on to those tech-savvy people. >> this is a place where content comes in. >> i was just going to say that. >> give people something to talk about. it will get passed on. >> more and more you see sites, as someone who's in the content game, you see more and more businesses of all kinds creating content that's not really making a hard sell on the products. it's just giving people a reason to check out your site and stick around and maybe buy a product. it's also great for your fco. the more content, the more people you have linking to you. >> someone gave me an example the other day of you're selling b

blog and his salute all seems a little more like a love letter than an actual blog post if a piece which was written on january tenth starts out with will saying i know will probably sound weird but i admire these politicians who put themselves out there before the american public knowing full well that all their warts will be exposed big time i think god we have wolf as a member of the media who suppost of that question these candidates to express admiration for their willingness to air their dirty laundry in front of the american people then will goes on to say most of them already have lots of money they could easily coast at this point in their lives and sit back and relax. i mean i don't really quite understand what's so admirably here yes a lot of them have a boatload of money because they're either businessmen or a sixty minutes pointed out they might have insider access information about stocks and property that helped them obtain all that money or they use their political capital to make boatloads of money lobbying like rick santorum or newt gingrich what about that is so admira

and breitbart very conservative blog. and i began then to google i googled the names of the students the ostensible students and i googled myself and i found that i was a regular target of glenn beck and then i also found myself all over other right wing blogs. and i found hundreds and hundreds of postings by people who wanted to kill me and who promised to kill me and who said they had all these guys with deer hunting rifles who are ready to come and get me and then one of the right wing blogs put my address on the internet and i just covered that they were following me around where wherever i went i went to speak for example to a little meeting of retirees in my union and. the audio from that meeting was transcribed glenn beck's blog the blaze. and then oh yes i have to tell you about this i came back to school after a break and my students had put on the door of my office this big blow up glenn beck's chart board which was called the tree of revolution and the tree the trunk of the tree was me and richard clarke and th

a perfect example is, you know, a lot of these technology blogs that have as far as far startedt have to deal with brick and mortar issues, printing presses, multimillion dollar tv studios. they approach things differently, and they don't just look at bringing in revenue based on advertising, but they look at different aspects. and one of the things we're seeing is some sites do things where they have communities, and they say, okay, you pay us x dollars a month, and you get access to our writers, or you get access to specific papers that we publish before anyone else. another thing you're seeing is conferences, for example. you know, the conference market hash around for -- has been around for many years, but take a look at tech crunch, for example, which is a technology blog based in new york and san francisco. 90% of their revenues come from conferences that they hold where they make millions of dollars from these conferences doing interviews with people. um, and so i think that when you look at the media business models, um, it shouldn't be just -- you shouldn't just look at it as

i run a blog called the odd clauses watch blog, which i made it connect with this book in order to keep tabs on the odd clause activity out there. and it turns out that in a few months i've been running a blog a lot of questions have come up in the news about we're close but not as the ones i've written about, but for example, a wild back president obama signed the extension to the patriot act with an auto pen. he was in france. the law had to be signed. he wasn't around so he directed some to sign it with an auto pen, a computer that does that count as signing under article one, section seven quick some people thought no. there are reasons to think that might be right. the debt ceiling, remember the debt ceiling debate? there was a question that was really debated, i think the secretary of treasury and also bill clinton raised the possibly the president obama were congress to to raise the debt limit its outcome president obama could unilaterally raise the debt ceiling using the authority of section four of the 14th amendment i believe which says the public debt of the united states sha

as official blogs. they are saying that this person was a violent man, a dangerous criminal. he had been convicted as such, and his death now after the long hunger strike is being used as a weapon against them. dissidents in cuba have a different opinion. they say he was arrested after a political protest in the serena province of santiago back in november. he began his hunger strike after he refused to wear prison clothing. he began his strike, stopped it a while, and started again when his demands were not met. he died after 56 days on a hunger strike in the prison there in santiago providence inls. >> in 2010 another dissident died after being on a hunger strike. the cuban government came under a lot of pressure then, and that did lead to the release of some prisoners. >> the difference in this case is there was very little possible lisickiity about this strike death. no one here other than the dissident groups knew a lot about him. he only joined a particular group in santiago in september. the prot
