TechPresident

This one's for you, Freeman. Via AmberMac, TechPresident.com:

TechPresident is a new group blog from Personal Democracy Forum that covers how the 2008 presidential candidates are using the web, and vice versa, how content generated by voters is affecting the campaign.

The 2008 election will be the first where the Internet will play a central role, not only in terms of how the campaigns use technology, but also in how voter-generated content affects its course. TechPresident.com plans to track all these changes in real-time, covering everything from campaign websites, online advertising and email lists to the postings on YouTube and who's got the fastest growing group of friends on Facebook.

Our team of bloggers is made of veterans of the 2004 and 2006 elections, ranging across the political spectrum. Their expertise covers everything from website design to the latest in mobile tools and social networking sites. And we'll look closely not just at what the campaigns are or are not doing, but what voters and activists are doing online to independently affect the election.

The 1/2 Hour News Hour

The 1/2 Hour News Hour, Fox News' answer to The Daily Show will finally see the light of day at 10 PM on Sunday. According to Variety, the second episode will air at the same time on March 4. The Huffington Post and Slate discuss it today.

Here's a clip from YouTube:

Apparently the blogosphere isn't impressed. I thought the BO mag cover was OK.

Its time slot creates a bit of a dilemma. It's on at the same time as Extras and Battlestar Galactica, so the adult's dual-tuner DirecTivo is otherwise occupied. Guess it will have to go on the kids' DirecTivo.
