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.
Social Media is Slowly Changing the Demographics of Political Engagement
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.
New version of Google Reader continues Google’s data fetish » VentureBeat
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.
VideoPress - Video Blogging Gets Easy with Wordpress Video Press - ReelSEO
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!

Candidates utilize Facebook, blogs in a new political era | newsleader.com | The News Leader
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.
Is Social Networking Revolutionizing Our Tribal Behavior? - FP Posted
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.
Northwest Herald | Social networking craze doesn’t spare area’s legislators
I bet there are 500 articles like this each month from local newspapers across the nation. "Lawmakers using more social media tools to communicate". That's a VERY good thing. When we take the communication medium back...and open a direct link between those elected to serve and those who elect them, we have more representation.
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.

Barack Obama: How Many Web Gurus Did It Take to Elect Obama?
Here's the Obama tech dream team identified. Here's the difference between this effort and what ORS is doing. This was an effort I've heard estimated at $75-$100 million and it's the biggest election in the world. YOUR campaign needs similar strategy and tools without the $2500/day price tag. Well...we've got you covered. Tax Day. Until then...

Seth Godin and Tom Peters on Blogging...just WOW. I hope I say it half this good in my classes. Unreal. Please take a listen to this minute and a half clip. You'll fire up your blog immediately afterward I think. Whether business or politics the same power applies. This is the most powerful marketing tool in the universe...and it's FREE!
The 10 most influential D.C. Twitterers - Patrick Gavin - POLITICO.com
Way to go Senator Grassley. He uses twitter to keep his constituents (we Iowans) informed of what's happening with him and our gov't. He's doing a great job and keep in mind...he's a bit outside the typically twitter demographic! Give 'em hell Chuck.
