Jose Antonio Vargas: Technology + Transparency = New Politics
Reading more and more of Jose's stuff on Huffpost. Excellent perspective that MUST be listened to. No matter our politics...we agree on the tech/politics intersection. Here's a quote.
"Because of the one-way nature of television, leaders have been trained to talk down to their constituents. But because of the two-way street that is the Internet, politicians must learn how to listen and engage the very people they're accountable for. Many pols have adapted, at least in the superficial sense. They blog. They create YouTube channels and Facebook fan pages. They drop Twitter in almost every other paragraph to sound and seem like they "get it.""
For GOP, revenge is tweet - Kenneth P. Vogel - POLITICO.com
But Culberson, whose 12,735 followers put him among the most popular House members on Twitter, called social networking “an essential part of my job, which is a direct personal interaction with my constituents. The day will come very soon in which we will achieve real-time democracy in a way that has never been done before. And like freedom, once people taste it, they won’t go back.”
Twitter as a Job-Searching Tool - WSJ.com
I think this is just one more area that people should pay attention if they are hunting. I work very closely with someone today that responded to my tweet "Need wordpress help asap"
30+ Interesting Twitter services and applications
Great link. We'll expand on this post shortly by turning these tools into a more advanced course. Great resource.
Screenr - Create screencasts and screen recordings the easy way
This tool is a MUST USE! So quick and convenient for SIMPLE screen casting. If you're doing private stuff for a membership site...probably not the best choice. But, for simple "get the content out there" screen casts...this is a golden boy among all players. The twitter based login and integration means that sharing is an absolute snap because like you I'm sure, my twitter postings end up all over my social profiles/lifestream. Excellent!

This is a great and balanced article that describes how many more races are leveraging technology, building email lists, and raising money online. Another key point is that technology is being used to rally support/troops for policy issues. Great article.
New Tool Adds Twitter Search To Google
Cool stuff here. Twitter search results within google. I'm pretty happy with some of the other search/subscribe tools out there...but I could see using this regularly for ad hoc searching. As we all know, Twitter is a great tool for building community, branding, and extending the conversation...in business or in a political campaign.

This is a general piece with a tiny bit of meat..but useful background on twitter if you're fairly new to it.
