POPSOperation Live Free or Die These people, in part, helped organize the Operation Live Free or Die rally. They're NOT dirty hippie protesters, but rather intelligent, articulate, former-tech employees. They know their issues and they know how to articulate them.

POPSChoose or Snooze Campaign Coverage Pipe I made a Pipe a while back that pulls in a ton of campaign and political news from a variety of both social and traditional media sources.

POPSThe Talk Radio News Service Today we launched the new iteration of the Talk Radio News Service website! As you know, I’m the Chief United Nations Correspondent for TRNS, as well as their social media consultant. We’ve been hard at work redesigning this new site for quite some time, and hope that you find it a useful place for disseminating news from Washington DC, the United Nations, and the Presidential Campaign Trail. There may still be a few bugs lurking, so as we continue to improve this space we’d love your feedback and comments. There’s a helpful little tutorial video over on the Help page. Thanks!

POPSYahoo Political Dashboard The dashboard of the Yahoo! Election 08 site is an aesthetically pleasing, brief overview of poll leaders, money spent, and current leaders. It's a bit like the Billboard Top 10 for the campaign.

POPSYahoo! Election 08 This site might succeed because it's a Yahoo! site. Thought I'm always skeptical when Y! announces a new product, This site presents a ton of campaign information efficiently. Yahoo! Election 08 is uses social media tools to target a non-social media, mainstream audience. My interest, primary, is how they will exercise editorial control, and if they can build a significant audience and voice.

POPSNYT: Musharraf Sets No Date to End Emergency Rule Why I'm concerned: 1) This is a threat to the values we espouse in the Middle East, and yet in line with our practices - it does nothing good for our international image 2) Americans have no idea what's going on 3) This could easily happen here 3)
