Bloggers Kill EU Constitution?
A high school teacher from Marseille is famous across the blogosphere thanks to his campaign against approval of the European Union constitution
Etienne Chouard said as many as 25,000 people a day visited his blog, www.etien ne.chouard.free.fr. "My text was sent everywhere, photocopied in all the directions and even distributed in the letter-boxes," he told the Liberation, a French newspaper.
After the constitution's defeat, Chouard was applauded by hundreds of Web loggers, a scan of blogs by Technorati.com showed.
The Internet And France's "Non"
France Contributing Editor Stanislas Magniant gives the lowdown on the internet's role during the French referendum which all but killed the EU constitution. Stan has posted the short note at NetPolitique, in English, plus a link to a BBC radio broadcast on the role of the internet during this riveting campaign. He doesn't believe the web was a deciding factor, but surely was an intense playground for both sides.
