Puffbox principal consultant Simon Dickson's rants and reflections on the unholy trinity of online news, e-government and the new politics.

The Mirror should be ashamed

Maguire blog misses HainI'm sitting here at 6pm on a huge day in politics. A political heavyweight has unexpectedly resigned, freeing up two seats at the Cabinet table. We've got all the usual fun and games of the ensuing reshuffle - who's up, who's down, who's been snubbed - and widespread speculation about a merger of several government departments, with an impact on the Ministry of Defence. It's Gordon Brown's first resignation, and there's a good argument to say this is the blogosphere's first scalp. It doesn't really get any bigger.

Over at the Mirror's 'Kevin Maguire & Friends' blog? Nothing all day. Not a peep, from Kevin or indeed his friends. My advice to the Mirror: kill the site now. If you can't make it work today, you never will. Shameful.

Got something to say? Say it.
