Now that site, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/\">DailyKos,<\/a> is one of the top sites on the Web, to a large degree because Kos let a new form of communication emerge from the bottom up.<\/p>\n<p>The DailyKos is a mass site. It has hundreds of bloggers on it and hundreds of thousands of readers. According to the old mindset, at a mass site, only a few people get to speak. Otherwise, chaos ensues.
