after watching SNL last night, my wife wondered what would have happened if the writers strike hadn’t happened…

in years past i don’t think it would have made much difference as the audience for SNL, letterman, leno, etc. isn’t huge. but, this election is all about youtube - possibly even more so amongst independent and young voters. most of the key debate scenes and campaign sanctioned videos have been top YT vids - many with MMs of views. so, imagine if we’d had two months of virally-spread videos like the ones below…i don’t know if anything would have changed, but….i wonder :)

video #1: weekend update with tina fey

video #2: opening sketch - the democratic debate

ps - i was too sick to stay up and watch SNL, so i caught these on YT this morning :)

makes up for the xerox comment. :)

great post rick..congrats. my favorite part is your title - “elections hipster” :)

for those that don’t know, rick created a cool site to help folks understand superdelegates…here’s some CNN coverage as well…

experimenting with a few ways of doing a “feed of me”

both sam and anil game me some tips - thanks! the way i tried initially yielded some not so great results (i.e., too many items/updates)…i’m going to play around with some once-a-day summarizers next week. but for now - i’ve switched the feed back to just the blog items…

sorry if i flooded your reader :)

i don’t get this. aren’t we (berkeley residents) for free speech? to be super clear - everyone supports the troops…we just would love to end the war. and, the vast majority of folks respect free speech….

all this does is provide fox news with things to talk about :)

apps are open for techstars…check it out!

sorry for the short note, but on the road…
