Community Governance, Journolist, Sarah Palin, Facebook, Tech News, Election 2010, Politics
Summary: Sarah Palin’s Facebook page had long been the scene of rants and flame wars with opponents writing horrible things in the comment section and proponents getting into the game and acting rude and crude as well. The new paradigm of good governance has resulted in a positive, up-beat page without the flame wars or even proponents saying things that are not within the bounds of decency and civility. Sarah Palin’s Facebook page is NOT a place to attack Sarah Palin or critique her every endorsement, but the Journolist Media doesn’t get that- those who oppose the Progressive agenda are not according any rights of free association. These means and methods of good governance online WORK and work well.
NOTE: I (Bill Collier) have used these governance standards as the Community Governance Adviser of Team Sarah and these basic methods are now being used on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page by people who KNOW this system and who have helped to fine tune it over the past few years.

Slate’s John Dickerson reveals that Sarah Palin’s Facebook page doesn’t get all uniformly upbeat all on its lonesome.
It’s all rather curious. Dickerson and a colleague built a program that tracked comments on 10 Palin posts over the course of 12 days. Now, you might assume that team Palin took a hatchet to especially negative, anti-Palin commentary. And some of that, it seems, happened.
But that’s not all that went down. The Palin enterprise also scrubbed from her feed comments where, found Dickerson, folks went after people who wrote mean things about her. Racial slurs were enough to get the boot, yes. So were suggestions that she shouldn’t let her kids (Bristol, presumably) do reality TV or vaguely-worded notes about Barack Obama birth certificates. Also no good: excessive religious imagery and mild objections to Palin’s picks of candidates to endorse.
The result implied by Dickerson’s reporting is less a cleaned-up open Facebook conversation than a some sort of curated narration to the life and times of Sarah Palin.
