Democratic Party Takes Debate to YouTube
The Democratic Party reached out to the digital generation during its scheduled South Carolina debate between presidential candidates by broadcasting video questions submitted by users of the YouTube website. Instead of a panel of journalists or political experts, the evening featured regular people and real voters with their own set of questions. CNN sponsored the debate and sifted through over 3,000 videos before selecting about 50 for the event. Those videos were aired during a two hour question and answer format with the eight Democratic candidates.
The result was a totally unique interface between the electorate and the candidates. Rather than canned questions that allowed a candidate to hit sound bites and campaign themes, the videos ranged from thought provoking to offbeat. The common goal though was to keep the candidates’ responses more genuine and spontaneous.
Some of the candidates opened up to the new format, and answered with personality and candidness equal to that of the questioner. Unfortunately though there was little debate between candidates to clarify differences on issues, and they frequently segued to their tried and true talking points.
The videos covered a range of topics, from domestic issues to foreign policy. They included questions on gun control, gay marriage, health, the war in Iraq and race.
The videos brought a unique slant to the event by adding faces to the questions. The unscripted format allowed for some unusual subjects to be broached, like whether the candidates would serve as president for minimum wage or whether they sent their children to public or private schools. The videos also facilitated a creative presentation, such as a snowman asking about climate change.
The candidates capitalized on the YouTube platform by presenting their own videos. Some stuck with campaign issues while others sought to diffuse past stories about their campaigns with humor. Bill Richardson won high marks for his folksy video and he exhibited a comfort with the youthful YouTube venue. Being continually dogged by stories of $400 haircuts, John Edwards mixed serious video with the theme song from the musical ‘Hair’ in his video, closing by asking what really matters.
The impact of the new debate format is still being discussed, though it certainly warrants an innovative label. Some view digital media as a grassroots alternative to mainstream media, and more importantly, the future of the electorate process. Candidates now court the internet world with social networking tools like MySpace accounts, websites and blogs. Voters almost universally want a chance to ask candidates questions for a better understanding of the issues. The CNN/YouTube debate offered a new meeting ground for an exchange of ideas. A similar event is planned with the Republican candidates in September.

How-to For Naming Your Blog
How to name your blog?!? Elliot Back looked at the names of 33,800 blogs to see what are the top 10 most frequently used words. His blog article has a lot of rather interesting details from his informal analysis.
 | Naming your blog is easy, but can be difficult if your wanting it to be found. Why is this? Well one common problem bloggers have while they are writing their blog is that they assume the potenial visitor has already found their blog article, so they wright all about the blog, but they don't explain the blog using keywords that the potenital visitor would type in to find the blog in the search engines. If you are having problems trying to determine which keywords you should use, you can use several free tools like Googles Suggest and Overtures Keyword Inventory or use a commercial program like Trellian's Keyword Discovery (www.keyworddiscovery.com) which is priced resonable. These tools can help you pick keywords for your blogs that are gems instead of playing the guessing game. Blogs are a strong tool for social media and companys trying to promote new products, special offerings, success stories and more if they are updated frequently and named correctly. This is why it is so important on learning How to Name Your Blog. If you're wanting people to find your blog and you're blogging about a specific topic - say, tattoos - then make sure you put the word "tattoo" in the name of your blog. This may seem obvious but sometimes we forgot. |
So check out Elliott's article - you might get some ideas.

How to submit your site or individual pages to the search engines
We tell our web engineers and SEO clients that if you create a new page(s) or make changes to a page, be sure to submit the page(s) url to the search engines. At least the major ones. Don't assume they will find them in a few hours. For simplicity, I have put together a page that has the links of the search engines to submit to. You can click here to view my search engine submissions page.
I believe its better to tell the search engines of your changes (or your clients changes) then to wait for them to find it on their own.
Another great tool to notify Google and Yahoo of your changes if you have a XML sitemap of your site is Googles Webmaster Tool and Yahoo's Site Explorer.

Paris Hilton Stars in Anti Drunk Driving Ad in Seventeen Magazine
Socialite also wonders when she will reach her sexual peak.
The consummate party girl has seen the light (make that police lights) and now she wants to warn others of the dangers of drinking and driving. Paris Hilton is featured in a full page public service announcement in Seventeen Magazine telling readers, “All it takes is one drink to mess with the way you drive - it clouds your judgment and slows your reflexes. Don't take any chances. It just isn't worth it.”
Those certainly are important words of advice though one can’t help but think they would carry more weight if Hilton actually embraced them. She didn’t set a model example after being arrested for a California DUI last September. She was stopped in Los Angeles for speeding and driving erratically in the early hours of the morning. In the ensuing days she made numerous attempts to trivialize the event.
Claiming she had had only one margarita at a charity event party, Hilton said later that, “I hadn't eaten all day. I was really hungry. I was driving fast because I needed a burger.”
Clouded judgement indeed.
In an interview with Seventeen Magazine the star of the television show ‘Simple Life’ went on to say that she has not reached her sexual peak. Hilton was quoted as saying, “I think you like sex when you're in your thirties. That's what someone told me. We'll see.” That will provide great insight for the teenage readers.
And since Hilton is 25 years old that means we’ll have plenty of future events and quotes to write about.
