Do you blog, twitter, or do the facebook thing?  This may become a very important way of staying connected with our people.  It seems to be the trendy way for politicians to talk to voters.  From the New York Times…

John Edwards,
the former North Carolina senator and 2004 Democratic vice presidential
nominee, is far and away the leading adopter of technology in either
major party’s presidential field. So far, his campaign has signed on to
more than two dozen online community forums, from the social networking
site MySpace.com to the 3-D community Second Life. This rather giddy
tech experimentation has at times yielded embarrassments — as when the
campaign’s Second Life “headquarters” was vandalized in vivid
scatological fashion.

But the larger aim is clearly to woo the
sort of tech-savvy Democrats who can harness online gadgetry to benefit
the Edwards cause. And Twitter stands out, both for its cachet among
true tech cognoscenti and the level of commitment it exacts from users.
Plugged in with mobile wireless devices, especially active users post
and respond on the site dozens of times a day.

So it’s not
surprising that Edwards dictates his entries to an aide, who enters
them on the site. It’s also not surprising that many of the entries are
terse to the point of near-semaphores, such as this post of a month
ago: “In san antonio.”

However, it is surprising to note that
Edwards has interactively Twittered his way into committing some actual
news. Well-known blogger Robert Scoble came across a Twittered
declaration from Edwards that his campaign would be “carbon neutral,”
and posted a text reply asking how a fast-traveling presidential
campaign could ever hope to redress its fearsome carbon-consumption
deficit.

Much to Scoble’s surprise, Edwards promptly Twittered a
promise to offset the carbon he generated by funding alternative-energy
research — marking what seems to be the first policy clarification from
a major candidate on social software.  (Italics added)

Interesting, huh?
