    www.campaigntech2006.org

    I want to make a pitch for anyone out there involved in technology used in campaigns to register on www.campaigntech2006.org. This is a website set up by Professor Christine Williams of Bentley College (who is leading expert on technology and campaigns), and it is meant to serve both as a resource for campaigns (and as a way to get some attention for those individuals in campaigns doing innovative things) and for researchers interested in studying technology in campaigns.

    In the website's own words:

    This site aims to provide a database of campaign technologies being used in the 2006 elections by candidates for all levels of office. Registrants are asked to provide information about their candidate so that those using the database can search to find those campaigns that interest them. A search will produce tabulated results of the number of campaigns that meet the search criteria specified as well as a listing of those campaigns and their contact information. Besides the database registry, this site provides a discussion board where those associated with campaigns can ask and answer questions about their use of technology. Finally, the site provides a directory of technology products and services available as freeware or from commercial vendors. The overall purpose of this site is to gather and provide a knowledge base of political campaign technologies in the market.

    Candidates or their campaign staff are invited to register and provide information about their use of technology in the 2006 elections.
