Rad...

We've been playing with blog technology for a while now (and certainly here at IYTT "play" is the operative word), but only recently really tried to start making it work for us out in the field. First up was the live blog of our peaceful seige of Exxon hq in Texas. Exciting, well written by our blog-man Eric, but a bit marred by trolls. (We learned to shut comments off from this one -- confused a lot of visitors from beyond blog-space about what was official and what was comment)

Two weeks ago we got one of our ships into the action, with live blog from the bridge of the Rainbow Warrior, thanks to Radio Userland's email-to-blog capability and our man Andre's silver keyboard skills. (yes, MT fans, I know you can get a python plugin to do likewise in Movable Type, but we were running an old version of python until a few days ago.)

Today, in what I think to be the Firm's best effort content-wise, we unveiled "Mission Iraq" -- diary of an expedition to expose some extraordinarily callous radioactive contamination around the Tuwaitha nuclear facility, and the schizophrenic policy-making of the occupying forces in how to deal with it.

Comments

Hello,

It seems that if all the posts went through one main weblog, say this one, that would help gather attention to the weblog. I think it is cool that Green Peace is using the simple technology available for the web. Now to get a Green Peace wiki up and running . . . ;-)
