DaxThink: Digital life

As we get closer to the 2008 US election, the talk continues about how the Internet will play its part. We at iCrossing have produced two such reports, the updated version available here (How America Searches, Election 08 Update).

What struck me this morning though was the vast amount of information available to the voters; if you want it you can find out anything and everything. And as we become smarter in our usage of video editing and blogging then anyone can express their opinion digitally in a very sophisticated and engaging way. And they are.

On sites like YouTube this often takes the form of satire. And so the message to all politicians who come and read this blog regularly [ ;-) ] is that we the people are listening, and are looking for ways to tear you apart in the name of humour.

Brilliant example:


McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare



John McCain vs John McCain



Craig Ferguson on McCain Suspending His Campaign



I'm F*cking Obama - Hillary Clinton feat. Sarah Silverman
(If you haven't seen it, you need to search for Jimmy Kimmel, Matt Damon and Sarah Silverman for the background to this. Hilarious).
