Activist aggregator: low-cost, fast, and effective
There’s no way in hell I’ll use this blog to express my personal views on the Terri Schiavo case. This blog is about PR and communications. Which is why I’m taking a deep breath and pointing you to a “Save Schiavo” Web hub.

Of course, it would be just as easy for those on the right-to-die side of the fence to create an aggregator, too. The point is that the Web and blogs make it easy for activists to call attention to their cause and gain access to all the various, divergent voices speaking out in support of that cause. One more thing for those trying to “manage” issues to be aware of.
