I am not much into politics but it’s all over everything; the web, the television and even the radio! I think this election is different from any other election we experienced. Did you notice how the candidates are using technology to promote themselves? Every candidate has a blog and there are hundreds, maybe thousand of supporters that write about them. They all include movie clips of things that happened or Thank Yous. They also include RSS feeds and an online community. You can now donate to their campaign online and find out what each candidate supports. This seems to be a bit different from elections in the past. I know I shouldn’t be surprised in this day and age, I just find it interesting.
I found a good web site http://www.huffingtonpost.com/; this web site has a lot of blogs regarding the candidates and politics in general. It not only has politics, it is a web page that links to all kinds of blogs. Daily features, entertainment, pretty much all the “hot topics”. It’s a pretty interesting web site so if you get a chance, check it out.
