Dan Patterson recently said something like, “In 2004 it was ‘the blogs’, now they’re old hat. 2008 is all about social media.” I would probably agree, but what makes it frustrating is that despite the huge number of people I’m following on twitter who are working and/or attending #DNC08, there isn’t one solid list of where you can find people. So, I’m going to attempt to make that list.
Over at the DNCs website, there was an article from Dec. 2007 that gave us this video:
If you look other posts you’ll see the DNC has a Facebook and MySpace page. They also have a Twitter account, but seem to miss the point. Here’s how they tell you to follow them on Twitter:
To join the DNCC Twitter group, text JOIN to 40404. Follow the instructions and then text FOLLOW DEMCONVENTION to 40404.
Huh?
Anyway…please note the following:
LinkTV has Dear American Voter where you can make video comments on what you see on the Convention floor.
Seesmic: a public account was created so that you can post your thoughts of the DNCC whether you’re there live or watching at home.
Here’s a list of people who’ll be at the #DNC08 and where you can find them:
- BigTentDenver Twitter,
- DemConvention Room on FriendFeed
