Ever since former President Bill Clinton blew his sax on The Arsenio Hall Show and talked about his boxers on MTV, presidential hopefuls have attempted to reach out to their young constituents with mixed results. With more than 600 days until the election, the race is heating up not only in your town but in your MySpace. That is where TechPresident.com comes in.[digg=http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Web_2_Obama]
TechPresident.com has gathered all the information on how technology will play a role in this upcomming election. In what might be seen as the first running tally of how many babies a candidate has kissed, TechPresident.com promises to cover the following topics:
A daily digest of fresh news clips, blog posts and campaign initiatives
Live from-the-campaign-trail photo feeds created by voters
Campaign website reviews
Links to campaign ads and websites (official and unofficial)
Charts showing who’s winning the most friends on MySpace and Facebook
Detailed tracking of incoming blog links showing who’s hot and why [to come]
Up-down voting on each candidate [to come]
A searchable repository of emails from each campaign [to come]
It remains to be seen if this is just another gauge of general popularity and not a snapshot of how a candidate turns new media into something concrete. Would an online faux pas affect a candidate in the real world? Just how many MySpace friends does it take to win an election? I guess we’ll see in ‘08 or is it 2.0

We knew this was coming but now it’s official. YouTube and BBC are in a non-exclusive aggreement that will see some of the BBC’s high quality content on YouTube for at least the next several years. In a twist, YouTube will offer three channels for the content: BBC, BBC Worldwide and BBC News. Click below to read the press release in its entirety.
From MSDN:
Welcome to the Beginner Developer Learning Center – a centralized learning environment specifically targeted to beginning programmers. Here you’ll find a rich array of learning content that starts with the very basics, and guides you through step-by-step to becoming a fully-fledged developer!
No experience or programming knowledge required – so dive right in!
Since they seem to cater to 10 year olds with no programing background, I might take a shot at learning more than what I’ve just “picked up” along the way. Wish me luck!

I resisted it for a while but now I’m a Twitter. If you don’t know what it is, this is what the website says about it:
Twitter is for staying in touch and keeping up with friends no matter where you are or what you’re doing. For some friends you might want instant mobile updates—for others, you can just check the web. Invite your friends to Twitter and decide how connected you want you to be.
Ok so that doesn’t explain much but just look at my Twitter feed to get an idea. http://twitter.com/DudeGuru
It could be used as a “mini-blog”, an away message, or a personal feed of what you are doing. You can export it as an rss feed or intigrate it into a instant messanger or your blog. Not very useful unless you actually have people who want to know what you are doing all day but its kinda fun to play around with. I heard about it from Leo Laporte.
On another note, if anyone know how I can get my Twitter feed to work in the Wordpress sidebar, let me know please.
