Most political consultants work to suppress people from voting -- at least those who might vote against their candidate. But activists are using the Web to counter those conventions, say panelists at a conference about virtual communities. By Kim Zetter.

Tip of the hat to The Unofficial Yahoo Weblog for pointing out the Election Blog Roundup on Yahoo News. While the page says one thing: Our goal is to aggregate a diverse selection of political blogs and let you sample a variety of opinions as election season heats up. It seems to do another. While it does provide a blogroll of sorts on the right side of the page, the main section is basically an aggregator devoted to showing the...

X1 and NewsGator Partner to Provide
Instant Search Capabilities of
Aggregated RSS News and Information 04/27/2004 10:10 AM

Integrated solution provides instant access to news and information as fast as users can type

Pasadena, CA and Denver, CO – April 27, 2004 – X1 Technologies, Inc., and NewsGator Technologies today announced a partnership to provide customers with instant access to aggregated RSS (Really Simple Syndication) news and information. The fast-as-you-can-type search capabilities of X1 Search, which lets users find the content of email, files, attachments, and contacts, has been coupled with NewsGator's ability to deliver news and information directly into Microsoft Outlook to give customers a simple, integrated solution for obtaining and finding information. X1 Search and NewsGator customers no longer have to sort through old, unrelated posts and messages in their quest for a particular article or piece of information.

NewsGator retrieves news from news sites, weblogs, and other information sources that support the RSS syndication format and automatically integrates the news items into Outlook folders. In addition to RSS feeds, NewsGator lets customers subscribe to NNTP (Usenet) newsgroups. Once the information is downloaded into Outlook, X1, through its patent-pending Invisible Index technology, lets a user sort through the aggregated messages and find the content they want, narrowing and displaying results as they type the search terms. Results are displayed in the X1 preview pane for a quick read or, with a double-click, can be opened in Outlook.

"NewsGator is the best RSS aggregator out there, especially if you use Outlook on a daily basis," said Robert Scoble, Technology Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation. "Likewise, if you use Outlook, X1 is the fastest and most powerful method of finding and using all of your various data -- a little bit of Longhorn for you before it ships. The combination is unbeatable."

For a limited time, users can purchase single copies of X1 Search and receive NewsGator, which normally sells for $29, as a special bonus. Current NewsGator customers can purchase X1 at a 30% discount. Additional information about this special offer is available at www.x1.com or www.newsgator.com.

"An X1 and NewsGator partnership makes perfect sense for anyone who wants instant access to information," said Josh Jacobs, president of X1 Technologies. "X1 is the fastest way to find what you're looking for and we're thrilled to partner with NewsGator to offer their customers instant access to their favorite news, information, and weblog entries, as well as their email, files, attachments, and contacts."

"As users store more and more RSS content in Outlook with NewsGator, it makes sense to offer improved search capabilities to our users," said Greg Reinacker, president of NewsGator Technologies. "X1 is a clear leader in this area, and we're happy to partner with them to offer their tools to our customers."

X1 Search finds and displays the content of any email, file, attachment, or contact as fast as you can type. With each new keystroke, X1 builds and refines a list of results in real time, highlighting search terms -- in the list and in the documents themselves -- in contrasting colors. Users can select any item from the list, and it's displayed instantaneously in any of 255 original formats, even if the application is not on their PC. Double-click on an item and, if the program is installed, it's launched directly from X1, saving extra steps and time.

Since X1 works on structured and unstructured data, users can reduce or eliminate the need to create folder hierarchies -- X1 takes them right to the content they need no matter where it's been filed.

With X1, users don’t have to worry about giving files clever names, moving emails into special folders, or judiciously organizing their information for later retrieval. What's more, X1 allows new items to be dynamically added to the index, working in the background so that users can work without interruption.

NewsGator users can monitor secure feeds from the ever-growing number of information sources supporting RSS syndication. News can be sorted, organized, grouped, or searched in countless ways, and features like offline reading make this information readily accessible at any time. NewsGator 2.0 works with Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later.

Political organizer sim

Political organizer sim 04/01/2005 12:24 PM
Cory Doctorow: A Force More Powerful is a sim where you play a nonviolent resistance organizer charged with toppling a corrupt government by teaching your sims to give speeches and organize marches.

Sponsored by the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, the game, called "A Force More Powerful," resembles a cross between a political science model and one of the popular city-builder games. The player represents the chief of staff of a non-violent resistance movement. He gives orders to various characters within the movement, who will attempt to carry out actions such as making speeches and organizing demonstrations.

The game's extensive scenario editor enables users to tailor the game to their own nations. Scenarios can range from building up support in a single neighborhood to waging non-violent conflict across an entire nation. The game is designed to be as open-ended as possible, with players able to choose multiple tactics. ... It will be distributed on CDs and on the Internet. Versions are planned for specific regions and languages.

Political Publishing

Political Publishing 07/26/2004 05:41 PM
The newsmedia are stiff with wonderment at this new blogging thang, personified by a few dozen of the pesky varmints really being there (what a concept) at the Democratic National Convention. Technorati (disclosure: I’m on the Advisory Board) is trying to do the bigger picture, and every time I go to that page it’s interesting; also Br’er Dave Sifry is going to be CNN’s Ambassador from Blogistan. We could do way worse. The meta-story is more interesting than the story, almost by definition; the Democratic party wants to have an extended tightly-controlled five-day infomercial; the last thing they want is actual news. The news media will play along to some extent but also be furiously looking for some real surprise or conflict or subterfuge in the spirit of if-it-bleeds-it-leads. Two obvious ways the Blogistanis could make a difference would be by uncovering (unexpectedly) real news, or by finding some way to make this largely formal and content-free event a little more human, a little more meaningful, a little funnier. Best of luck, boys and girls. (PS: While on the subject of the political process and the Web as a medium, the Electoral Vote Predictor strikes me as elegant, seamless, and new.)

Mitch Kapor: Korea and the Political Promise of the Net. For someone who looked ahead with optimism over a decade ago on the Net's role in revitalizing our democracy and helping create a more peaceful global community, the Net's first political steps are a very hopeful contrast in a world in which those prospects seem obscured in deepening shadows. The question is where do we go next?

Political Conventions Ban Wi-Fi?

Political Conventions Ban Wi-Fi? 07/09/2004 09:53 AM
Political blogger 601am.com has been told there will be no Wi-Fi on the Democratic National Convention and Republican National Conventions floors: We don't have this confirmed yet, but Aaron Bailey of 601am.com, a credentialed blogger for the DNC event, was told by several authorities that Wi-FI interferred with "broadcast television signals" and was thus banned. This rang a bell, and I contacted Tim Pozar, a microwave expert who recently joined the Electronic Frontier Foundation's staff. Tim writes extensively about the Part 15 FCC rules which govern use of unlicensed bands, such a the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) band in which 802.11b and 802.11g (the two most popular Wi-Fi flavors) perform their magic. Tim noted that Electronic News Gathering (ENG) is a licensed -- and thus priority -- use of a part of the 2.4 GHz band. ENG is used to send signals from television cameras to remote trucks or studios. The Part 74 ENG use is licensed, which means that unlicensed Wi-Fi users can suck eggs if they don't like being banned. Tim suggests that the frequency coordinator for the venues made a big stink about this as likely every ENG channel will be in use in the conferences. They don't need unlicensed "mucking" up the band. Tim has written this paper about licensed uses that overlap unlicensed bands. Tim notes that 802.11a, which uses the 5 GHz band, could have been deployed successfully, but few people have 802.11a or 802.11a/g cards. It's still not common technology because of its lack of backwards compatibility and shorter range at the same power outputs. More on this story as we receive information from the field. I'm especially curious to see if newsgatherers who create their own software base stations or plop Linksys access points onto the expensive Ethernet drops they pay Verizon for will be hunted down and shut off....

What's an a-political artist to do?

What's an a-political artist to do? 04/09/2004 09:10 PM
David Cerny: frilly pink tanks, babies climbing TV towers, and the president feeding slops to the director of the national gallery out of giant asses. Why, this could only be the NEA gone awry! Actually, it’s Magic Prague, the land of Franz Kafka and Milan Kundera, and the artist, like the dissidents of past generations, would rather not do political art , political art. His latest sculpture ridicules the perverse situation in which the country finds itself post Havel: a place where right-wingers like President Klaus and national gallery director Milan Knížák— a past collaborator with secret police, and worse, completely idiotic and banal performance artist — prosper and rub shoulders at the expense of those with a conscience and good taste. Like David Cerny. This isn’t the freshest post, but I’ve been waiting to join Mefi for a long time, and today is the first day I can post.

Political Phishing

Political Phishing 08/03/2004 12:32 PM
It's election season, and that means that, just like with all the other news-sensitive scams, phishers are getting political. The latest is a phishing email that simply copied a donation request from the John Kerry campaign, but changed the link to a fake site. Of course, the folks behind the scam made one very stupid mistake: remotely using an image hosted on the Kerry website -- which was quickly changed by the campaign to explain that the site was a scam (though, it's likely this confused some people -- hopefully enough to stop them from donating). Still, it's likely that the next version won't make the same mistake. With the success phishing emails have had lately, and the fervor with which people seem to be donating to campaigns, an awful lot of cash supposedly going to campaigns is going to be making criminals wealthy.

More Political Spam -- Down Under

More Political Spam -- Down Under 08/27/2004 02:00 PM
Just like in the US, apparently the spam laws in Australia don't apply to political messages. That seems fortune for Australia's Prime Minister and his son. Apparently, the Prime Minister's son is some sort of spammer, and the father hired the son's company to spam voters with political messages pushing his campaign. There's nothing anyone can do, since the messages are legal, but it's yet another case where politicians clearly misunderstand their own constituents -- and don't seem to notice that people wonder why politicians exempt themselves from the laws they expect everyone else to follow. Of course, with election season rapidly approaching in the US, expect plenty of politica l spam here as well.
