I haven't been blogging or tweeting much. I'm devoting all my spare time to a position as New Media Director for a congressional campaign.
What I've learned from this experience is that it's possible to run a campaign totally on free Google services. You could use Blogspot to host a domain with unlimited bandwidth, Analytics to track your visitors, Checkout for donations, Alerts to track your name in the media, Docs for book-keeping and management, Google Groups for the mailing list and forum, Youtube for outreach, and Maps and Calendar to keep in touch with constituents.
And it's ALL FREE. If you wanted, you could spend $10 through Blogspot to buy a custom domain; that's your only cost. This says something great about the future of elections, government transparency, and Democracy in America. Or so I believe.
Check out our work here. Comments and criticism welcome!
