Politics: The role of the Campaign Hub
Webl0g
01/07/2004 06:28 PMWhat is the role of a campaign hub weblog in an online campaign?
The simple answer is that it should serve as a source of
reliable information on the campaign's activities. The more
important answer is that it should serve as a way for supporters find
each other. In other words:it should be a system for making
introductions that lead to
weak links.
How is this done? Short, punchy posts that
quote and link to
high-quality supporter weblogs. Bots can help, but they
shouldn't serve as a substitute to editorial intelligence (case in
point: the Clark
campaign weblog points inward with its posts and relies on bots
to help people find each other). Also, don't rely on
an inside team for analysis of breaking stories in the general
media. Use the community to do the analysis for you. They
will almost always do a better job. Find it, quote it, and point
to it. The more you drive readers to other community weblogs the
better. Don't hoard your readers (all the campaign weblogs could
do better with this!!).
Create synthetic weblogs that address specific issues. Draw
on the analysis done by the community to populate these synthetic
weblogs. Use editorial judgement on what is included (don't rely
on a bot!). A Wiki-like categorization system like that on Scripting News is a good way to do
this. Perhaps a simple trackback ping system could provide the
raw material to populate these synthetic weblogs (or the reverse,
categorized RSS feeds from supporter weblogs that are combined into a
single weblog flow). Get a Google pizza box and
create a search system with community-centric PageRank
for supporter weblogs.Build a Blogdex or Daypop top 40 for
community weblogs.
Build a system for supporters to easily subscribe to each
other. Aggregate the RSS links of community weblogs into one
easy to find place. Work with aggregator vendors to offer tools
configured for the campaign (don't rely on an internal effort to build the
tool -- it probably won't be best of breed and difficult to
maintain).
That's enough for this morning's coffee notes.

04/14/2004 03:55 AMI was at an identity management conference last week, and while many
of the presentations would be of interest to network managers running
Windows 2000 and Windows 2003, one in particular drew my attention. It
was about a company that has 3,500-plus employees scattered in 43
offices across the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, the
Pacific, and South America. Its network looks like this:

Forest Practices From Above
Forest Practices From Above

Via Dave Shea, a visual lesson on modern forestry. I’ve
actually visited a clear-cut or two, that’s some real ugliness. You
don’t have to be a fanatical green, here in BC, to start having a
real attitude problem about forestry companies and their pet
politicians. Kind of like the Ents’ attitude towards Saruman’s
Orcs. There has to be middle ground; I like living in a wooden house
and reading words on paper. But look at those pictures; we can’t go
on like this.

Last issue I told you about some presentations that I had seen
recently that varied widely in the number of Active Directory forests
deployed at an enterprise. While the number deployed will certainly
vary from organization to organization, still there should be some
rules that tend to support either a single forest or dozens.

"...the surviving Wanniya-laeto community retains much

habitat that has enabled their ancestor-revering culture to meet the
diverse challenges to their collective identity and

A Colorado
Daily article describes a new type of robot that will be used to
study complex ecosystems. Bill Kaiser
came up with the idea of small, solar-powered robots that move above
the forest on a network of wires at up to 20MPH. The robots can also
lower themselves on self-contained fibers much like a spider to
examine
activity lower down in the forest. Working with UCLA and the Center
for Embedded
Networked Sensing (CENS) an NFS grant was
obtained for the project, known as the Networked InfoMechanical System
(NIMS). CENS does a lot of other interesting R & D on robotics and
remote sensing for use in studying the environment. For more info on
NIMS and photos of the robots, see the UCLA press
release.
