Thanks for running this forum.
Obama's campaign is said to have made history by using the internet for raising funds -- I do not know, I've been busy doing something else
I do know that the internet as communications during a campaign is forever changed -- a great improvement in the ability to communicate among and between people. Also, for better or worse, there has been demonstrated the ability to disseminate information in such volumes, so wide and far, and so rapidly as to diminish the standard for truthfulness. The downside of this new age of undifferentiated information needs to be overcome by basic human dignity on the part of participants. For example, by using real names, real data, and real references. ...just a ramble, but I think it is something for us all think about.
