Hey Mom, better plug in those computer speakers: the audio of our South by Southwest Interactive panel on Politics 2.0 has finally been loosed upon an unsuspecting world. Listen now, before the SXSW servers melt down from what will surely be an unprecedented and truly frightening level of public demand. Want color to go with the sweet sound of our late-morning voices? Here are pics and related resources, but beware — seriously bright polyester awaits. Thanks to Patrick Ruffini for the tip.

- I just caught Susan Finkelpearl cheating on us with Democracy in Action! Moreover, she’s brazenly flaunting her Tips (for Sprucing up Your Website), and in public, too!
- Does User-Generated Content Work for Political Campaigns? Todd Zeigler takes a gentle sip of the Kool-Aid: “It seems to me that truly allowing your supporters to carry your message for you will ultimately result in more supporters, more donations and ultimately better online results”
- More Second Life marketing skepticism. Wagner James Au says, “To play in Second Life, corporations must first come to a humbling realization: in the context of the fantastic, their brands as they exist in the real world are boring, banal, and unimaginative.” Sounds like a Friday night in Georgetown to me. (A Bivings Report find).
- Blog P.I. tweaks his Magnum moustache saucily before looking at which candidates are buying Google ads on their own names AND those of their rivals (sneaky — me likee).
- A look at two niches in the blog-o-rama — an Analysis of Black Bloggers in the Blogosphere and Feminist Blogs: Activism, Journalism, or Masochism (I’m voting for the latter, as always). Via F-email Fightback.
- A YouTube for conservatives. Wonkette wishes them well: “Good luck, guys! We bet Michelle Malkin would make you a video of her pretending to personally kill every single Arab and Mexican! She could wear like a KKK robe over her bikini or whatever.”
- Also in Wonkette, a lesson in why some people should avoid technology, as the Prez tries to blow up a hydrogen-powered car (oh, the humanity).
- More niches, bitches: A socnet for political junkies, launched by Campaigns and Elections magazine (Via David All).
- News from the Edwards campaign: John Edwards Debuts Saturday Podcasts (my mom will have to learn to use mp3s), and also modifies online fundraising practice to be nicer to folks who are sending supportive messages to his wife.
- Tips on tools: Seth Godin says, campaigns need to beware the too-frequent mass email, and Solidariti talks about interactive maps made easier.
- MySpace Plans Virtual Presidential Primary. My man Monty should be a shoe-in.

Sorry for the publishing hiatus — I’ve been finishing up an article for another website (yes, I’m cheating on you, but it’s with Idealware so it’s okay). Also, if you’re a subscriber to PoliticsOnline’s NetPulse newsletter (and you should be), you might have seen that the e.politics piece on the Macaca backstory got picked up for the December 6th edition’s Soundoff column. Woo hoo! We’re conquering the world, one website at a time — and just wait until that robot/kung fu army finishes training…
In the meantime, we’ll have to settle for non-imaginary potential world leaders, in this case the prospective 2008 Democratic presidential candidates. Todd Zeigler over at The Bivings Report has taken a look at what Evan Bayh, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, Barack Obama and Bill Richardson have done online so far, and he uses the results to extrapolate what we might expect from them over the next two years, presuming that they stay in the running. Who knew that Obama is a leading political podcaster, and that he’s not just recycling speeches? Todd will have more profiles next week, but this first installment is worth checking out.

NPR continued its coverage of the new technology of politics with an interview with Joe Trippi on Morning Edition today. Not much new here, though the piece discusses YouTube and the rise of citizen journalism, MySpace, Google-bombing and podcasts. Trippi talked at some length about one of his favorite ideas, the concept that new online technologies, unlike television, reward authenticity in a candidate. Past NPR pieces covered YouTube ads and political databases. Thanks to Peter Davis for the tip.

Stepping back from the email precipice for a minute (that Cap Ad study has been stirring up some BIG waves in the online advocacy world), ealier this year the Bivings Report conducted a study of how campaigns for U.S. Senate were using the internet that’s worth checking out.
The findings: virtually all campaigns had some online presence, most had bios and contribute features, many were posting multimedia files, but few were using more advanced features such as blogs, RSS and podcasts. Except in the areas of RSS and Spanish-language versions, there were no significant differences between Republicans and Democrats, though challengers in general were more likely to be mounting aggressive online campaigns. The study was conducted before social networking had become such a buzz topic and doesn’t cover it, though other coverage would suggest it’s still rare.

Micropersuasion reports that search engine marketing company Spannerworks has put out a PDF guide to social media, covering blogs, podcasts, social networks, content communities and Second Life. It’s more of a quick overview than an in-depth examination, but it’s still a good resource. Man, they’ll let anybody publish an eBook these days.

Mark Z. Barabak has a good overview article about political campaigns’ use of new technology in the LA Times (requires registration), focusing on podcasting and blogs but with some information about wireless/mobile technology and cable tv. The story’s hook: “Politicians and their promoters are facing the same problem as Hollywood and the makers of toothpaste: How do you sell your product to an increasingly fragmented audience?” Some quick highlights:
- Cable tv companies may soon be able to deliver ads targeted to a particular household — marketers have been able to slice and dice direct mail recipient lists like this for years, but it’s new to television
- Campaigns are waking up to the promise of social media and other Web 2.0 technologies to turn casual site visitors into evangelists
- Over 50,000 people are already subscribing to GOP video podcasts, even with little promoting
Well worth reading, and suggested by a loyal reader (thanks, Dad!).
