First, a quick note about the genesis of the site. It’s the brainchild of Shelby Bonnie, the co-founder of CNET -- one of the world’s first online media companies -- and one of the true pioneers of the digital world. Along with Shelby, and his small team of engineers and developers (all CNET veterans) who built this platform from scratch, is me -- Mark Nickolas -- a traditional in-the-trenches political veteran who’s spent the past decade in Democratic campaigns at the presidential, Senate, gubernatorial, and congressional levels and someone familiar with the blogosphere, having published a well-regarded state-based political site called BluegrassReport.org.
Separately,
"Bizcentral.org is a new group blog authored by lobbyists for some of the biggest industries in America. The petroleum industry is represented, as well as nuclear power, chain drug stores, the American Trucking Association – even the Salt Institute, "the world's foremost source of authoritative information about salt (sodium chloride) and its more than 14,000 known uses." - TheBlotter
