On this topic, there's a new blog called "Tech President" that explores how candidates are using social media as part of their campaigns. http://www.techpresident.com/ I particularly like the candidate Myspace friend counter ;) -Fred On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Nancy Baym wrote:

Those of you interested in or teaching about politics and the net may be interested in this video (http://doleinstituteblog.org/104/) of a panel I attended this week where 5 prominent political bloggers (representing RedState, DailyKos, MyDD, Ankle Biting Pundits, and Powerline) engaged in a discussion with David Perlmutter (KU Journalism prof with a forthcoming book on the topic) about the role of blogs in presidential campaigning. It was really interesting, and I could see making this required viewing for students (there were sure a lot of them there!).
