Michael Turk over at techPresident has a recommendation for Republican presidential contender John McCain, “create something online that lives beyond the moment.”
McCain is busy inviting supporters to his Online Idea Exchange tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. EST.
Writes Turk:
I like the “Exchange of Ideas” thematic, but it’s in New York. Why not have some fun with the branding and make it the New York Idea Exchange and play off the NYSE? With a little bit of work, you could actually make this a user interactive thing and create an “ideas exchange” and your users could trade futures in McCain’s ideas. It would give you feedback on which of your campaign messages play better.
Meanwhile, Jeff Jarvis has some advice for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama. He wants to know what Obama stands for, and he wants Obama to take the time to tell him in video form.
Jarvis holds up Hillary Clintons (now embeddable!) “Hillcasts” as a great example of using video media to share views. And I would agree if only Clinton didn’t sound so scripted.
Obama does a better job of being off the cuff in his videos, even if he isn’t really saying anything yet.
