Now In Politics Magazine: Ten Ways to Blow It Online in 2010
December 7th, 2009
Be sure to pick up your copy of Politics Magazine this month, since the current issue features a companion piece to the Winning in 2010 series.
The approach this time is a little more tongue-in-cheek — it’s a take on the classic idea of a Top Ten list, in this case looking at Ten Ways to Completely Blow Your Online Presence in 2010.

Just a preview of the myriad ways campaigns and advocacy groups can screw themselves up when they try to use the internet for politics. Of course you should purchase a print copy of the magazine, but you can also check out the article online.
