Just heard a news report that RFK, Jr is at the top of the list for the EPA post. So, I check the Wired Blog once again – the people are “voting” for Mary Nichols of CA with 389, RFK is a distant second with 199. Hmmmmm …

Great thinking all around. Ongoing engagement is key and proactive individual use of technology can be a conduit and distribution channel, so the “What Now?” message seems to be on many lips this week!

In fact, the Alliance for Climate Protection is branding it in a video here: http://www.repoweramerica.org/page/s/obamapetition so I tend to agree with Susan, that we need to get more ‘Starfish’ and less ‘top down’ in our use of technology and learn how to leverage ‘me into we’…

Ancora Imparo…”I am still learning.”
p.s. Sorry I didn’t make it to the GNO, school tragedy here. Long story.

I’m banking on the fact that we (those of us that were thrilled to actually connect to a candidate online) will stay engaged. I think the Obama/Biden site that’s up right now and they’re continual engagement via social media will be used well – how can it not after the action we saw in the campaign. And, they’re taking Chris Hughes with them -creating a tech seat in the Cabinet.
I know that I, along with many other supporters, are just waiting to find out ‘what next’ – I’m ready!
Great article!!!

Just found this on another blog. It will be interesting to see if the Obama team is watching.

Al Gore attempted to tie into the Flat World with his “I invented the Internet.” But, he didn’t get it any more than McCain.

I don’t think it’s the Democrats who should use the power of social media; that’s still the top down disconnected old way of doing politics.

We, the people, need to get better at. We, the people, need to pick it up and run with it. We, the people, can use this technology to wrest our country back from the power brokers in D.C.

The Obama campaign has shown us how. Let’s learn the lesson and do it.
