ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

That plumber named Joe

I know that right now there's a stampede of media to Joe the Plumber's house so you won't need any links to see what that was all about in tonight's debate but until the satellite trucks arrive on his lawn, here are two links I found useful.

Video and transcript of the original exchange between Joe the Plumber and Obama on the Political Punch blog.

And here is a follow-up interview he did with a site called FamilySecurityMatters.org about his exchange with Obama.

With regard to my post earlier today, if Joe the Plumber didn't have a blog, the blog came to Joe.

Socialist plan for America? That's ridiculous. I'm Canadian (living in the USA) and what he is proposing is nothing of the sort. Typical disgusting pro-republican bias.

Re: Joe the plumber.  He is not licensed, neither is the company.  And we are concerned about illegal aliens?  How about illegal tradesmen?

This plumber hasn't really helped Mccain out too much. Hope his 15 minutes of fame is worth it. Here is a link to the current polling numbers http://www.gotoguy.com/?p=459
