A look at local web happenings in Tacoma, Pierce County and South Puget Sound

Here's a roundup of the best Washington election coverage that can be found on the web. It's the product of a social bookmarking experiment where journalists from The News Tribune and other area newspapers collaborate with political bloggers and others to compile a reading list of coverage from all around the web.

The Publish2 Election News Network is powered by technology from Publish2, the brainchild of a well-known media blogger named Scott Karp. Earlier this week, the Knoxville News in Tennessee hosted its own version of the experiment, inviting a small group of Tennessee bloggers and journalists to participate.

"There’s a huge opportunity to help voters find the best election coverage in the sea of election content," said Karp.

We're reaching out to bloggers and other journalists to invite them to participate. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of advanced planning for this; it's very much a work in progress. Our participation began with an email from Scott two days ago.

Give it a look and let me know what you think. We'll be testing this collaborative social bookmarking technology in other content areas, so if you're interested in participating give me a shout.
