Adam Conner, a 2006 YP4 Fellow who appeared on the Building a Progressive Youth Movement panel at YearlyKos, posted today about the Kossacks Under 35 series and Mike Connery’s question:

How can the progressive youth movement form stronger ties with the progressive blogosphere?

A question in response: What are members of the progressive youth movement trying to accomplish with regard to the blogosphere? (Are we trying to get our ideas publicized? Are we trying to sort out what our ideas are in the first place? Are we trying to build intergenerational networks?)

I’ve heard some young bloggers say that trying to keep up with the absolute latest in the progressive blogosphere is too time-consuming and overwhelming, so they prefer to write about what’s on their mind rather than striving to engage in that particular dialogue.

What do you think?

personally

I am a fan of cross-debate on the blogosphere. I enjoy when people comment and challenge views.
