MPSA
The new workshop dates are set: April 16 & 17, 2009. I hope to see you there. Paper submissions are due by January 7, 2009. You can submit papers anytime using JITP's submission site to get the review process started.
Social media & Politicsl Research
I know that Danah Boyd keeps a running list of social network site research. Jon Hickey noted in a discussion post he wanted to create a database for YouTube videos (http://youtube08election.crowdvine.com/posts/show/1950782)
But I wonder if an...

YouTube Election Video Database
I hope we are collecting the McCain, Barr and Nader videos. My hunch is that the McCain videos will disappear very quickly as he tries to resurrect his reputation. And Barr and Nader may find paying for keeping theirs up pointless.
Bob's Impressive Wiki Work
Bob Boynton is building a great wiki in support of the workshop next April. You can find it indexed on his web site. The best wikis are built by groups, so if you have a page to add or feel like editing, please visit the wiki linked to this crowdv...

YouTube Election Wisdom
Gail Collins, writing about the now infamous Joe the Plumber, notes:
"Joe the Plumber, it turns out, is actually named Samuel and is not a licensed plumber. He has a lien on his house for unpaid taxes. While his professional life is still a lit...

Not Ready '08
I hadn't checked out "Not Ready" until recently, but it's an interesting site. I'll be interested to see how/if the rhetoric of "Not Ready" changes now that perceptions of Sarah Palin as inexperienced have become increasingly entrenched.
WaPo on YouTube and Campaign Managers
There is an interesting story in the Washington Post

Invitations
The person for Obama seems to be Arun Chaudhary. I do not know if he would be interested. He was a faculty member at NYU so that may suggest scholarly interests. I have no idea how one would get a connection to him. Iowa is a great place for connections during the early primary season, but is ignored after that.
A brief piece about him is here:
OK, this is just plain cool!
My hope is that our conference will be a spur to new and interesting methods of sharing data & findings, as well as a multi-media extravaganza. Think giant projection screens and very high quality sound systems, and anything else that fits the epoch we are living through. Maybe CNN will sponsor and we can get to use the magic map...
Great to see a strong showing of UW Huskies for this meeting. See you in Amherst!
Cartoons & Cartoonists Welcome!
I welcome the inclusion of cartoons and cartoonists in this meeting. I hope we get plenty of both.

I figured out my inability to view the text for editing -- though not for creating, which is still a puzzle.
I was using Firefox 3, and either the editor does not work well with the new version of Firefox or there is something i need to add to the browser to get it to work.
I can use other browsers, but if you know the person[s] doing this software you might pass on my experience with Firefox.
When I try to edit a page -- both one I created and one you created -- I click on the edit tab, and it displays a blank page. There is no text, and there is no editor interface.
Do we have to get permission to edit pages? That is, is permission to edit turned off as the default?

I have finally got the wiki into the functional mode. It should be easier now for visitors with pbwiki accounts to request to join "youtube08election" (at least I hope so). I put Bob's tag cloud version of the CfP up on the front page of the wiki.
I am trying to figure out the wiki access issue. You need to:
a) have a pb wiki account
b) log in
c) request access to the youtube08election wiki
d) get approval
e) get a confirmation link and confirm it.
So, it is a bit cumbersome.
I tried logging into the wiki with my crowdvine account and it did not recognize me.
I tried logging in with my pbwiki account and it would not let me edit a page that was not from my account, i.e, not part of crowdvine.
Is there a trick to this I am missing?

I'm not sure Crowdvine has such a feature. You could create a page on the wiki and invite discussion of that page.
I see you got a better photo.
I cannot find a place to make a comment that will go to the entire network. I must be missing something somewhere.
