What Is a Blogging Tory?




The term Blogging Tory refers to any one of the many



authors affiliated with the conservative Canadian



community known as The Blogging Tories. Today,



there are over a hundred and fifty text-based blogs



associated with the group, and there are new Blogging



Tories every day. The Tories stand as an inspiring



example of a successful online community where the



ever-increasing numbers of affiliated members enjoy a



fertile environment for discussion and debate about the



ideas that shape the face of Canada.





The majority of Tory bloggers do make political events



and topics the focus of their blogs, but not all of the



content that a Blogging Tory creates and publishes is



overtly related to the movements of the Canadian



parliament or the prime minister. Although the



community members were brought together by a shared



conservative viewpoint, the fact that not all of the



postings on all of the member's blogs focus on political



topics is one of the most exciting things about the



Blogging Tories. On any given day, the main website's



blogroll may feature postings about Olympic medalists,



a James Bond film festival in Quebec, or a comical



personal experience with a telemarketer. The idea that



having a political affiliation in common makes it



possible to have a fruitful discussion about other kinds



of topics has interesting implications for how online



communities are established and how they grow.
