Romney Campaign Soliciting UGC Campaign Ads

Mitt Romney’s campaign is soliciting user generated ads using Jumpcut the online video editing site. There are plenty of elements to work with in putting together a 30 or 60 second campaign ad. The winning entry will be run at some point I suppose.
With all of the user generated campaign ads out there this […]

YouTube Campaign 2008

The following is an entry that I wrote a couple of months ago for a blog that I am no longer contributing to. It relates to some of the political issues that I wrote about the other day so I am including it here.
A month or two ago I was asked about the use of […]

Political Impact of Web 2.0 and Age

Back on the issue of politics and Web 2.0, Global Market Insite, Inc. released a poll the other day on the impact of social networks on political campaigns. According to this poll of 2130 consumers between the ages of 14, while only 17% of people have viewed candidates profiles, 53% of visitors felt more […]

Yahoo! Sending Email Text Messages

Yahoo! announced today that their new version of Yahoo!Mail allows sending email to text messages. Kudos to them for making a little known feature available to the masses, but it’s actually easy to do. All cell phones actually have email addresses using the phone number and service provider all you need to know […]

Politics 2.0 Favoring Democrats? Really?

Richard MacManus is posting that Web 2.0 favors democrats
based on the number of friends that Democrats have versus the number of friends that Republicans have. That and a digg profile for Obama. This seems like a pretty flimsy argument to me.
If you assume that Facebook and MySpace have a younger population than the […]

Haven’t had time to read through all the definitions, but I get routinely asked about them so this is an excellent reference assuming that they hold up to a little scrutiny which […]

Thinking About Job Satisfaction

I had dinner last night with a few friends. One, a radiologist was telling me about reviewing CAT scans, x-rays and other diagnostic records in order to determine what was ailing people. I usually prompt him for stories about household objects found inside patients and House-like wonders of deduction. He did his […]

The Best Commentary On Barry Bonds

This is the saddest article that I have ever read on The Onion. Then again there aren’t a whole lot of sad articles on The Onion. I haven’t seen a better commentary on the Barry Bonds issue. I’m proud while my Nats did give up the run at least they won the game.

Blogging About Twittering

Steve Rubel has it right when he says that “If Web 2.0 is like golf, then a blog is a nine iron, while a micro-blog is a putter.” This meme is seems to be taking off and feel like I’m seeing this idea of long and short form blogging a lot now, but then […]
