John Culberson, R-Texas, and Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, might be the most prominent Twitter users on Capitol Hill, but they aren't the only lawmakers utilizing the innovative social media platform to communicate with constituents. We uncovered a few other famous political faces who have posted short missives online -- some mor (Read More)

: I'd be much more likely to vote again for an elected official if I knew what he or she was up to. Twitter is a great way to do this, and is a compliment to any communications plan. Do elected officials have communications plans? I kind of don't think they all do. They should.

SocialMedian was barely a thought for people back in February, but it has gained a solid following in the 9 monthsof its existence. Many people would ask why this startup has gained any traction. It is yet another social news site with voting and commenting. Did we really need another? Given the amount of traffic that socia (Read More)

The last major piece of the puzzle that was missing from Gmail was voice and video chat. Not any more; if you have a webcam and a microphone, you can now video chat with your friends directly from Gmail by installing this plugin. The plugin works in all major browsers (I’ve tried it in the latest version of Firefox) a (Read More)

: I tried it yesterday with a few friends, and I have to say I liked it. More than anything, I like that it's not bogged down with a ton of features I couldn't care less about.

In the spirit of Halloween, Chris Brogan and I would like to suggest to everyone who uses Twitter (if your not, there are many reasons why you should be) to play Trick or Tweet with the people you are following and your followers. Because like me, social media has connected us with so many friends from around the world it w (Read More)

On Monday, Microsoft announced that it would give every Windows Live user an OpenID account, and today, Google announced a very similar plan. Google will allow web servic (Read More)

This is not a political blog, however with a pretty historic election coming up, I wanted to write up my opinion at least somewhere. I’ve been a champ (for the most part) of keeping politics off of my Twitter profile. So, at least I can vent on my own blog at least once. Here I go…I will be voting for John McCain for Presid (Read More)

: I respect this guy's opinion, but he's presenting his views as independently-thought, but they're pretty much the standard talking points coming from the GOP. He lost me when he got to the "associations" point, since he's just regurgitating the GOP line, and if he really independently looked at both of these guys' associations, would find questionable on both sides. And really, Acorn, look it up, not any closer to Obama than it is to McCain (who was a keynote speaker from them in '06). These are both establishment men, who have both done admirable work for the country but have also compromised to get where they are. That's how our country works. If you really are going to make an independent decision (which probably nobody does), read the policies with a blind eye, listen to what reputable people (i.e. nobody online) says about them, look at their records. Ignore the talking points.
: @Macztar I too am voting for Bob Barr. As a member of the Libertarian party I have found the other candidates platforms leading away from a government based on the precepts of The United States constitution. Many will say that Libertarian candidates don't a have chance to get elected. The libertarian platform is the US Constitution. The future looks bleak for our republic. Libertarians will keep their integrity despite the outcome. Earl Wallace
: This was a great closing speech. This man speaks so much truth, it would be great to finally have a another great leader who people can be proud of an not ashamed. 'Solid as Barack'
