Happy New Year!

THE DAILY LIBERTY DOT COM

I am delighted to report that my gift to Libertarians across America,

TheDailyLiberty.com

is now in operation. Happy New Year!

The Daily Liberty is an internet web site. Its operation is quite

deliberately patterned after Daily Kos, the extremely successful

progressive Democratic Party web site.

The Daily Liberty is not a blog. Anyone who wants can post a diary.

Invited writers can post left column articles. Anyone who wants can

post comments, though those can be rated. Correspondingly, Diaries can

be recommended; highly-recommended Diaries rise to the top. The site

does have a spam suppression scheme.

A number of volunteers have tested various site features. The beta

testing appears to have been successful. The Daily Liberty will soon be

moving from the Beta phase to the continuous improvement phase.

The Daily Liberty is owned by Philip Reed of Alabama. He did all the

software work, found the ISP, and prepared everything else. I wrote

specifications for a project in which I was willing to buy ad space,

which I have done. If any of you want to rent ad space, contact Philip

Reed <philipreedtech@gmail.com>; TheDailyLiberty.com is his baby.

Some of you will ask why we need TheDailyLiberty.com. Don’t we have

enough blogs? The answer is that TheDailyLiberty is not a blog.

Article posting is not restricted to an elite few, with the great masses

only allowed to comment. Instead, TheDailyLiberty operates in a

democratic manner–posting privileges for diaries are generally

available. No longer do you have to wait for someone to post an article

on the right topic, before you post your three thousand words of

commentary. You can post your commentary right now as a diary.

The Diary structure worked very well for DailyKos, which as a result of

its ability to mobilize progressive opinion played a significant role in

transferring control of Congress over to the Democratic Party. I

believe Daily Kos’s success was due in considerable part to its data

structure and interface, and am seeking to replicate its political

efforts for people having a different political bent.

However, Diary-based web sites of this sort will only succeed if they

have wide participation. Please join your fellow Libertarians at
