An Interesting Website...

I typed in "politics digital" into Google and found an interesting website run by a "semi-professional" journalist [refer to article link posted below], Colin Delany. He introduces himself towards the end of the about page in a manner which exposes the ease with which semi-professionals can launch successful ventures : " The great thing about running a website is that you get to appoint yourself an expert. So, poof! I’m an expert." But does this "poof" mindset translate into universal success for the masses? Delany would disagree. According to him, many people host pages on the internet devoted to political discursion, but very few use this information to bring about tangible changes in politics.

The other interesting part of his website:
The other interesting part of this website is what Delany thinks are the five ways to use the internet effectively in campaigning. I thought his point about relentlessly morphing political stratagems was original. It is true that many candidates running for office launch websites, but for many, the wonders of the internet fail to manifest monetarily. Perhaps these candidates need to go the extra mile - it is not only about having a website up there somewhere, but about creating one that is engaging, effective and informative.
