On Wednesday in Silicon Valley, Sen. Obama created quite a stir in the technology world with his detailed proposals on his technology initiatives. He would appoint a "chief technology officer," who would open up government meetings at all levels, transmitting live Webcasts and opening them up to comments. For instance, Obama wants five days of public comments before legislation is signed. This is pretty revolutionary.
How much you want to bet that many of those folks at Google who were listening to him want to apply for that job?
I'm far from being a tech expert -- I'm a computer "user," that's all -- but Obama's proposals seem to have taken many in the tech world by storm. Just as important, he's getting all kinds of positive mentions for these proposals on many progressive blogs that were on the fence about him, such as Open Left, MyDD, etc. This has to help the campaign.
Let's hope for a great performance in the debate tonight!
