[lbo-talk] press release of the day

[Doug Henwood]

> I’m writing to make you aware of a site that may be worth  
> mentioning to your listeners, www.presidentsrace08.com. It was  
> recently set up by Brainband (the creators of Blogfusion, a blog  
> community software) as a public service so that any American can  
> start a FREE blog and discuss the political race no matter their  
> political persuasion. For your listeners interested in becoming  
> political pundits or for bloggers simply looking for an easy way to  
> gain more readers, this is a great opportunity.
>
> The Blogfusion software sets up a community with a central theme  
> where bloggers with a like interest can join and develop a social  
> network. Although President’s Race ’08 has only been live for about  
> a month, several political bloggers have already begun to  
> congregate and discuss the 2008 election. There’s nothing quite  
> like it right now in the blogging world. This is a very timely  
> story as well, with many candidates establishing Myspace pages in  
> an attempt to educate and gain voters via social networking sites.
>
> If you’re interested I’d be happy to work with you to set up a time  
> to speak with Brainband’s development team for your show about the  
> site, how blogging has impacted the race or how campaigns have  
> moved into the social networking world. Thank you for the  
> consideration.
