Politics and Web 2.0
I just want to throw this out there quickly.
I just came across the ‘Leadership Matters’ campaign which Ontario PC Candidate John Tory has launched in preparation for the 2007 Ontario General Election. Although there has been a lot of focus on the use of social media by the 2008 Presidential Candidates, I think they could learn a bit from what Tory is doing here!
Check out the site, I am curious what your impressions of it are!
Also, keep your eyes on the blog for a mega-post on Ask.com and its new features in the next couple of days!
The design is very appealing and they even bought the .com domain but seo it’s not that good. Posts have the same title with homepage and I think there are more mistakes but I don’t have time to check them all.
Although I’m not entirely impressed with the look of the new site, the competition for spreading the webpage will really motivate people to get involved in Tory’s campaign and breed a new generation of e-campaigners as I’m sure that is exactly what they are looking at doing. The “backend” of the site is most impressive and allows volunteers to do all the work.
