Internet friendly presidential candidates. David Weinberger, who knows the Internet pretty well (that's a vast understatement), has some thoughts that are worth considering. He apparently likes Howard Dean. [Ernie the Attorney]
I haven't really done that much hard looking at the presidential candidates yet. Mostly because there is so many of them and I don't have that much free time. I just read Dave's piece, and checked out the Dean website. All I can say is wow. I am thoughly impressed at how the campaign seems to understand the power of the internet. From updates on your cell phone to the awesome use of meetup.com to the weblog (with an XML feed!), I've never seen a candidate "get it" more.
So I signed up for the next meetup. I'm not sure if this is the guy I'm going to vote for, but he sure has a lead.
Ohh, and I do also agree with most of his stances. (I am not a democrat, I consider myself a liberal independant) I fully believe that Bush must be removed from office, and it looks like this guy may have what it takes to do it.
