    The document discusses whether political debate on blogs can constitute a virtual public sphere for deliberation. It first presents the hypothesis that the blogosphere, due to its openness, interactivity and participation, could function as a public sphere for political deliberation. It then outlines an analytical framework to assess the quality of discourse, patterns of ideological agreement/disagreement, and nature of cross-linking on blogs. The conclusion is that deliberation does not apply to the type of communication widespread on political blogs, which tends toward ideological agreement rather than cross-cutting debate. Technology alone does not guarantee new democratic possibilities; social contexts shape how technologies are used.
