WTP 218: Campaign Hacks, Tech in Transition, and Exporting Obama's Net Success
November 7, 2008 permalink

Right, last show about the elections, I promise. We start with news that both the Obama and the McCain websites suffered attacks from a "foreign entity" over the summer. Someone apparently wanted policy details. Also, what will an Obama presidency look like when it comes to tech policy issues like net neutrality. And we end with a story about how the folks behind Obama's net success have set up shop already in Britain. The next great American export?

WTP 217: Twitter, Texts, Facebook and YouTube, Tech and the US Elections
November 7, 2008 permalink

Finally, more than two years after it began, the campaign for the US presidency is near an end. Well, unless some chads decide to hang it up again. Anyway, we've got a special podcast devoted to looking at how technology shaped, and was shaped by, the Obama and McCain campaigns. And we look at how one mobile phone company is using text messages to get out the vote, and help people find their polling stations.
