It is a short read coming in at about 150 pages and gives tons of information about bloggers and their actual participation in politics. Like most political books about stratifying an electorate, it has tons of data. Great resource.<br /> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/1364 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/1364 This recent essay on the importance of blogs in politics is a very informative and compelling work. Denzer's essay has a deep focus upon the origins and the effects of blogs upon the American political structure. It also has a tremendous amount of links that lead to great resources for anyone interested in the internet and American politics. An excellent resource.<br /> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/1365 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/1365 This journal article is somewhat boring, but effective. It is written in a classical Political Science style and is more interested in designs, graphs, and diagrams than in the theories behind the data. It is a good primary resource, but speaks very broadly about the varying ways the internet influences politics and vice-versa. Robertson has some great primary resources and could lead to better articles or essays.<br /> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/1362 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/1362 This book is an older version of Davis' later Politics Online. Unlike his later endeavor, <em>Web </em>is a theory based book. It feels as if this book gives Davis' theory for how the internet should work with politics and <em>Politics Online</em> is his research into trying to prove his hypotheses. Still a good earlier work about the potential power of the internet in teh electoral process and delibrative democracy.<br />
