I attended a campaign school in Washington DC recently. The FEC (Federal Election Commission) rules governing how you receive and account for campaign cash are mind numbing. It's NOT as a easy as putting up a paypal button and asking for donations. (Well it is but you'll be busted). State rules are different so please pay attention and do your research. Take a look at this solution and let us know what you think.

Great take on the current net neutrality legislation question. It's TOUGH to be "against net neutrality". Does that language just feel good? What an amazing job of positioning the role of the government. Now, I am still digesting brilliant opinions on ALL sides of this very vexing issue...but this post gives a simple example of what one might be "against neutrality" or rather "Against the radical government intervention in what's right and wrong on the web". We shall see.

Ron Paul uber Libertarian and "Dr. No" in the Congress understands the power of the under 35 crowd. It will be the undoing of candidates who continue to ignore it.

This is a great piece on what candidates should do with tech in their campaigns. We struggle to convince candidates every day that tech is not something that we just "add on" to the "real stuff". It's a first step for us and should be treated as such.

This article states the very interesting current status of today's younger workers and up and comers. It's not good enough to sit around and complain that you can't "reach this voting block" and disregard it. Imagine if someone said that about you...you 50+ year old! It won't be long before the youngest generations are the majority of the voting block. When they decide to engage (BHO), it's pretty much their game. Learn don't shut down. Engage...don't shout. Enjoy what this generation brings to the table as it's obviously very different than what even we (me) Gen X'ers brought not so long ago.

Interesting summary of the Pew piece. I'm printing and digesting as we speak. How many Facebook Friends or Twitter followers have YOU had in the 18-29 demographic who are "most likely to use social networks as a venue for political and civic engagement than older users?" Thanks @abrudtkuhl for the spot.

OK....we talk about "Listening" as a key element in the equation that builds YOUR organic online findability all the time and google reader is a great tool to that end. Now, google has added more data/analysis/trending information to the reader. Useful? You'll have to decide that. I'm a data guy and I'm not using the full power yet. When our course on "Listening" comes out in a couple weeks, you know Reader will be a BIG part of that.

Wow. Wordpress.com just got a lot cooler! Let's see how quickly the amount of text based posts drop and video based posts accelerate. I'm not sure it will be earth shattering early on because many people are still intimidated by the "camera". We shall see. Very good development!

I've been missing a few events lately myself, so I did a little research and figured out how to automatically sync my facebook events with my google calendar (my scheduling lifeblood!).

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.

We talk about people wanting to belong to tribes frequently in our work. Social media/New Media tools have a way of allowing people to create many small tribes...while still connecting them via a common online thread. Very powerful and something you need to grasp as a candidate.
