The online tool itself that Al’s promoting? Neat all around — it collects video clips from people across the country and displays them through a cool Flash interface that lets you scan around remarkably easily. A little slow to load, but an impressive visual experience with a great social media angle.

The site is a new social network that just launched a month or two ago that alot of people in the Long Island, Ny area are seeming to like. It has a <a href="http://www.aroundtheway.com" rel="nofollow">radio station</a> where the user votes music in and out of roation just llike traditional radio & every so often people can inject shout outs or audio ads. This can be a very effective tool for any political party. I found a site that can definitely bring this to light.

As a site owner, I have been struggling with the idea of adding social media to my site whcih reflects my pollitical opinions. On one had, I dont want to offend a guest, on the other hand, I think.. every other site is pushing their opinion, why shouldn't I? I better figure it out soon or I will have to wai until 2012. <a href="http://www.spotahottie.com" rel="nofollow"> Social Networking, for adults. Free chat rooms.

Reddit in particular advocates the suppression of any perceived pro-Bush, or pro-GOP stories, so there is really no benefit for conservative or Republican users of these sites. You are welcome to contact me at 847-791-1065 if you had any questions, or were interested in profiling the site. It is the first conservative 2.0 project on the internet and we hope to generate a lot of buzz in the next couple months. Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you.

I also would strongly suggest that campaigns not just focus on demos of age, sex, race, etc, but that they use lifstyle choices, such as genres of music, to add friends.
