p2p-politics.org went live this morning. This was an idea a couple of us had last week. I blogged for a web designer on Thursday. J Christopher Garcia was among the first. Aaron did the backend design.
The idea is simple: Send a message. There is a pile of clips to select among. Select some that best express a point you think a friend should hear. Put the friends address into the email box. Add some text yourself. Click send. Your friend will receive an email, with links back to the clips, and also an invitation to do the same to someone else. Anyone can upload relevant content to the site, though for obvious copyright and other reasons, all entries must be reviewed before going live.
MoveOn was able to give us the initial content — 150 ads from the BushIn30Seconds contest. The Kerry campaign has added some of its own. I’ve invited, through a number of channels, the Bush campaign to add something. No reply yet.
The Internet Archive is hosting the content under a Creative Commons license. Thanks to Brewster, J Christopher, and Aaron for pulling this together so amazingly quickly.
