Howdy, y'all! Live-blogging from Austin, Texas, where several of us from the campaign's new media team are taking part in Netroots Nation, a gathering of progressive online activists from across the country.
Online Organizers Chris Hughes and Judith Freeman are leading a seminar right now on how the campaign uses social networking tools to spread Barack's message of change and to bolster our field program on the local level.
Chris and Judith talked about the utility of my.barackobama.com and its capacity for spreading information and connecting with voters. They also discussed how the campaign has used external social networks such as MySpace, Facebook, and BlackPlanet and organize in neighborhoods across the country by communicating through Facebook groups, etc.
More updates to come. We'll be live-blogging from the Register for Change event featuring DNC Chair Howard Dean later today. Stay tuned!
**And feel free to leave Texas tips in the comments. We'll be here for a few days and plan to sample some Texas barbeque. And by "sample," I mean consume large quantities of.
