Look, we keep things pretty non-political here at Engadget, and had we been around four years ago we almost certainly wouldn't have mentioned a protest march or a politicial convention at all. However these days people are using a lot of interesting new technologies to organize themselves and cover the protests, so we believe that this alone makes the RNC protest worth covering. We did a post last week on some wireless head-mounted cams police are using this week here in New York; if we're going to mention the technologies that the police are using to help maintain security during the protests, why shouldn't we also mention the technologies that protesters are using to organize? It might not suit your personal political leanings, but we can guarantee that if conservative protesters had been using WiFi-enabled bikes to protest the Democratic National Convention we would have written about that too. <br><br>If we have missed any interesting uses of technology by pro-Bush/anti-Kerry protesters, by all means contact us and we'll be sure to do a write up. <br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Peter Rojas<br>Editor<br>Engadget]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Rojas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Engadget Guide to the Republican National Convention protests]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/30/the-engadget-guide-to-the-republican-national-convention/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/30/the-engadget-guide-to-the-republican-national-convention/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm surprised I have not heard from anyone else using one of the best low-tech ways to keep on top of the protest, mainly scanner radios tuned to NYPD's frequencies.  I kept a scanner running for some of the weekend, and it was far more informative than any web site or network news program.  Of course, it also quickly shows you how hard-working and prepared the NYPD is in controlling the crowds, so maybe that's why I haven't heard much about it from the largely anti-NYPD indy media point of view.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Engadget Guide to the Republican National Convention protests]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/30/the-engadget-guide-to-the-republican-national-convention/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/30/the-engadget-guide-to-the-republican-national-convention/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thank You for the protest coverage!<br>I don't know who the above posters are <br>but most of NY wants the RNC out!<br>You don't need to be apologetic about it.<br>If you're still thinking of voting republican<br>you're NOT thinking.<br>I feel all dirty and violated that they are here!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[automatta]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Engadget Guide to the Republican National Convention protests]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/30/the-engadget-guide-to-the-republican-national-convention/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/30/the-engadget-guide-to-the-republican-national-convention/</guid><description><![CDATA[I echo Peter's words about using technology for this type of function.  As someone who is both techie and politically active, it's exciting to see the two merge and Engadget covering it.  The sites, details and how all sorts of devices work to help bring the activity to those of us who can't be/wish we there.... I know I would love to be in the crowds with my dig cam, PDA and WiFi ftp app to capture and post the ongoing rants and chants.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marty - Chilly Willy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Engadget Guide to the Republican National Convention protests]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/30/the-engadget-guide-to-the-republican-national-convention/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/30/the-engadget-guide-to-the-republican-national-convention/</guid><description><![CDATA[There's a search box to cover the data set as well.<br>http://politics.feedster.com]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott Rafer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
