Clark Community Network

Presidential candidate General Wesley Clark is establishing an Internet community network. Reportedly, the website is similar to Slashdot in concept:

At the heart of the Clark Community Network is a system of personal and group blogs. Upon signing up with the network, users get a personal blog with a forclark.com URL. They can also enroll in several online communities, each with a blog of its own. Someone might, for example, choose to participate in the Alaskan blog, the veterans blog and the physicians blog.
Users can submit their personal posts to the community blogs. Other users then rate the submissions on a one-to-five scale, and highly rated submissions can float up to the official Clark blog. Volunteer administrators tend the community blogs, deleting “problem” posts. Community editors can post content directly to the community blogs.

Such an approach is more “inclusive” than Howard Dean’s blog, where only designated people can post items.
This is a good move for Clark. Because of his late entry into the race, his campaign organization is clearly behind the curve. He needs to quickly bring together supporters, literally or electronically. I think this is a good tool for that objective.
