Sir:
A few questions regarding publicizing on the Internet.
Number 1: I have noted that many campaigns which are posted on the internet, tend to avoid actually posting in-depth responses to issues, namely, on the Internet/Censorship.
We tend to overlook the fact that many canidates look at this situation, thinking that they can post what seems to be nothing more than a glorified banner ad in an arena which thrives off of knowledge, disclosure and the very trading of ideas.
it seems in many cases, canidates (Al gore is not the only one.) tend to simply post the propaganda that you can see watching TV, how do you make choices on what to post, where and when?
2: How much revenue do you actually generate from an online campaign such as this. Do you seem to be recieving many more donations, or is it pretty much the same.
3: Do you find that the internet is/is becoming a medium through which you can effictivly gain mindshare-time over and above 60 second infomercials?
4: The structure of the site seems to lack the ability for the end-user to properly interact. Take Slashdot for instance. Would it be feasible for you to set up an arena where the canidate could possibly respond, in person, questions posed to him/her. I know that in many ways, this in unfeasable. But even making the effort, tends to help public relations. Noting, of course, you will get alot of people who will abuse this syetm, to send nothing more than flames and insults, but, with the internet, you take the good and the bad, hand in hand, no?
/end rant
/end questioning.
I hope you all have a good day, and I look forward to hearing your responses.
