Organizer:
Clinton Schaff, M80
Description:
As web geeks, entrepreneurs and marketers, we all want to move people to act. So do political candidates. Now that we know who won (we will before March '09), there is a lot we can learn from them to help our own projects. Get the real inside scoop on what worked and what didn't. Ask the political experts how crowdsourcing, video, broadband, UGC, social networks and more changed THEIR business and how they will change YOURS too.
Questions
Answered:
  1. Which technologies did each presidential campaign use best?
  2. Which technologies are emerging?
  3. How can web entrepreneurs and engineers best get ahead in preparation for 2010 and 2012?

  5. What is the one 'killer app' that is being underused outside of politics?
  6. What political tech app is NOT applicable outside of politics, and why?

  8. how important was technology in Election '08?

The best part about this is that we're learning early lessons, but we're nowhere close in figuring out how to apply social media to politics. I'm curious about how we can apply the frames of transparency, authenticity and openness to politics... or if it's even possible?

It would be great to hear from OffTheBus about their massive citizen journalism project. I think there's got to be other great examples that could easily dovetail into discussions about how projects that use politically based strategies can also be used for business strategies.

Wow, this really is a hot topic. Would be interested to know exactly what worked and how tech savvy each camp was. This will start to feature more within the politcal landscape.
