奥巴马将用电子邮件和短信宣布竞选搭档

美国民主党候选人奥巴马的竞选活动又出新招,他将通过发送电子邮件和短信的方式来宣布自己的竞选搭档(VP)。这项活动的主题叫作“Be The First To Know” 。

如果想通过邮件获知的话,可以到这个页面来注册;通过手机获知则需要发送短信VP到62262。这在世界选举史上无疑是一个创举。

奥巴马的竞选活动的创举已经很多了,特别是和互联网关系密切,比如在各种社群网站上建立自己的主页,比如那些叫作“Obama Girl”的流行视频,比如通过网络获得的有史以来最多的捐款。

Obama to Announce VP By SMS, Email

(via ReadWriteWeb) You know it’s a new era when a US Presidential candidate plans to make a major announcement using a new technology. The campaign of Barack Obama has announced on the blog for its social network that it will be announcing Obama’s Vice Presidential running mate first by mobile text message and email. John McCain doesn’t even know how to use a computer. Read more.

美国总统更愿意给google花钱,而不是facebook

嗯,标题中的美国总统实际上是指奥巴马,我看好他。所谓的给google还是facebook花钱是指的今年1——3月份的广告投入。在前3个月中,奥巴马竞选团队投入的网络广告费用将近350万美元,其中超过85%给了google。而花在facebook上的钱只有可怜的2.6万。来看看Clickz整理的美国联邦经济委员会(FEC)的资料。

美国民主党总统候选人登上百度首页

看,百度的Logo!一个小人儿领着一头驴站在那里。那个人叫巴拉克奥巴马(Barack Obama,我们的报道,这里这里,还有这里),现在美国民主党党内初选中领先,极有可能成为民主党正式的总统候选人。而那头驴,当然是民主党了。

百度的Logo是难得一变的,特别是把一个美国现在最火的政治人物放在这里。难道有什么特殊的含义?难怪Techcrunch会猜测,这是表明百度支持(endorse)奥巴马,但是奥巴马竞选团队可不想让别人知道这回事,因为两国关系的冷淡和美国人普遍对中国的不信任。

我想Macheal Arrington可能多虑了,这极有可能是百度在热推它的叫作“百度人物”的产品。这个人物新闻杂志类型的产品在去年11月就推出了,第一期人物是许三多。但是说实话我是到今天才知道,这个推广对我来说“很有意义”。下面是这期百度人物的截图,点击看大图。主要的文章来自于百度的其他产品,如贴吧、知道,但是也有综合性文章和特约记者撰写的稿件,感觉做的很认真。

Baidu endorse Obama? Oh, no

Baidu puts Barack Obama into its logo, Techcrunch’s Macheal Arrington thinks that this represents baidu endorses Obama. Oh, no, it’s just a promotional approach of one of baidu’s products-Renwu. Obama is the cover people of this issue.

加入Obama阵营,用logo

左图这个人就是目前在美国政坛红的发紫的民主党总统候选人Barack Obama了,我们也不只一次介绍过有关他的新闻。他身边的就是竞选logo了。现在有Obama的拥趸建立了一个叫Logobama的网站,允许你把自己的照片(或其他图片)放到logo当中的圆圈中。并且提供适合各种社群站点使用的头像规格,比如twitter、myspace、facebook等等。下图是我的作品,更多请见这个flickr小组,目前已有620张图片了。

Yes We Can

Yes We Can,一场激情和信念喷薄而出的演讲,来自Barack Obama;Yes We Can,一首坚定与希望柔和的歌曲,来自DipDive

Yes We Can

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant ……….. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea –

Yes. We. Can.

硅谷精英们的政治献金

民主党总统候选人Barack Obama凭借他对IT产业发展的积极、开放的态度,赢得了硅谷精英们的心。作为回报,这些企业家和VC们将为Obama提供政治献金,下面是Valleywag披露的一份名单,知名的VC和IT公司老板几乎尽数其中。

尽管如此,在募集资金的整体数量上,Obama还是落后于希拉里1000万美元,下面是Maplight.org提供的一个民主党人和共和党人分别排在前三位的候选人所募集的资金数字。这是一家专门跟踪总统候选人和国会议员募集政治献金数量的网站。

金钱和政治总是纠结在一起,即使是最新的互联网企业也是如此行事,Google早已经开始了在国会的游说。

Does your VC have a Democrat in his pocket? 

(via Valleywag)……But we know what really counts in Silicon Valley: money. And when it comes to raising cash, Barack Obama’s winning over the tech crowd. He raised about $500,000 just last weekend at a breakfast in Atherton. Wondering who was there? Here’s a list of known Silicon Valley supporters for each candidate.

Not many in the Silicon Valley money crowd support Hillary Clinton. The notable exception is John Doerr, who now counts former VP Al Gore as a colleague at Kleiner Perkins.Read more.

“美国盗版党”支持总统候选人Obama

46岁的民主党总统候选人Obama因其开放的和明确的对互联网发展的态度,赢得了众多网络公司和网民的支持。4日,“美国盗版党”宣布支持Obama,并号召成员们支持他。

有必要介绍一下 “盗版党”。“盗版党”2006年1月首先在瑞典成立,之后在世界各国相继成立了“盗版党”,他们有着共同的目标,即致力于专利和版权改革,保护个人隐私和推动网络中立。

关于版权改革,盗版党的观点是,在一段时间内,为收回成本而限制传播是必要的,但是收回成本期过去之后,个人之间的传播和分享不应当再受到限制。

美国盗版党的发言人说,“Obama先生看起来是唯一的有这样认识的总统候选人,他认为版权就像宪法定义的那样,是为了进步,而不是利润。”

Obama明确意识到了互联网在信息传播和交流方面的重大作用,他明确表达了“网络中立”的个人观点。在对google访问时他说,“我承诺在(维护)网络中立方面我将不逊于任何人” 。在接受Techcrunch采访时他又说,“我将阻止网络供应商的一些做法,这些做法用不同方式限制了人们在网络上表达的自由。”也许Obama先生成为总统后,就不会有BT站点遭到封杀的事情了。

美国盗版党在声明中说,“在专利和版权领域,Obama明确的表达了改革现有系统以促进效率,促进交流和避免诉讼。我们相信他会在生产商和消费者之间取得平衡,既能保证投资人和艺术家的利益,消费者又不必(为分享行为)受到惩罚”。

US Pirate Party Endorses Barack Obama 

(via TorrentFreak) The Pirate Party just published a press release in which they show their support for Obama, and ask their members to support him as well. Obama is indeed the only candidate who’s even been willing to consider copyright change, the others are more interested in protecting the commercial rights of a few. Other than that, he has a healthy view on how to ensure people’s privacy and he values net neutrality. Read more.

Obama girl is back!

美国总统选举为全世界人民提供了一场盛大的娱乐秀,而Obama girl则是这场秀中的一名出色的演员。从去年开始,她以各种形式公开支持民主党候选人Obama的视频,在youtube上迅速蹿红,最高观看过百万。

Obama是民主党阵营中希拉里最致命的竞争者,这从我们之前的文章可以了解到一些。今天最新推出的视频“Obama girl returns for Iowa”在短短两个小时内,观看数字已经突破7.4万。在这个视频中,obama girl为了Obama在爱荷华州的竞选而出山,不仅在拳坛上击败了希拉里的支持者,而且孤身一人直捣希拉里的竞选总部,救出了人质。

本集中的一些经典台词:

1. “Girl, your candidate needs you.”

2.”Obama girl is back!”

3. “Do you think she can really change the course of the election? she’s just a girl.”
“No, she’s obama girl.”

Obama Girl Returns for Iowa! 

Obama Girl is back for the election of Iowa, in this new video, she not only defeats the supporter of Hillary but also rescues the hostage out of the Hillary election headquarter alone. See the video above.

从网站点击看美国大选——11月之民主党篇

如果现在就投票,谁将胜出?这是总统选举中媒体经常炒作的话题。互联网数据分析网站Compete根据美国本土访问候选人网站的独立访问者数量给出了自己的答案。今天给出的是民主党11月的选情分析,数据来自于各位候选人网站的监测数据,比如Obama的网站barackobama,Hillary的网站hillarycliton。具体的访问量请看下面这张表。

Barack Obama和Hillary Clinton以318,179和289,615个独立访问者遥遥领先。与10月相比,Obama的访问数量上升了13%,而Hillary的则下降了10%。再看看各州的支持情况,见下图,点击看大图。

在Obama和Hillary的比较中,访问Hillary网站的主要是东部沿海各州,和中部及北部的几个所谓山地州。而访问Obama网站的人员来源却比较评价。

从以上两个数据来看,在民主党中,Obama的赢得初选的胜算最大。明天将发布共和党的数据,让我们拭目以待。(图片来自Compete)
