Campaings & Elections Spin Off Articles
In April, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst hosted a multidisciplinary academic conference called "YouTube and the 2008 Election Cycle in the United States." The conference featured deep research into how candidates used YouTube and how it affected the election. It's perfect information for campaigners and consultants—but the kind that frequently slips under the radar of the political consulting world. That's why we've grabbed the author...... [read more]

I don’t see if you believe me, but, I would like to apprize your superior notes just about this topic. Before it I took the assistance of freelance writing .
Joan21:
Thank you, it's very amazing description it might be very helpful for students. For example last year when I had a difficult of time at the end of semester with a everlasting flow of academic assignments and job, I had a astonishing idea to buy it somewhere and than use plagiarism detection. I was so crippled that I did not care for what can commence when my academic work was written by other side person. To my greatest surprise, research paper was estimable the price I paid for it. I was so pleased with the quality and now everytime i use this service.

diigo - a nifty annotation tool!
We will be inviting people to use 'diigo' (http://www.diigo.com/index) to annotate and bookmark the conference materials. This is a nifty platform! Check out the 'diigo' overview at:

YouTube & Congress
This is an interesting alliance not without some great political angles:
http://www.nextgov.com/nextgov/ng_200...
I'll be in DC this Friday talking to IT-savvy staffers for the leadership of Congress. Perhaps we can get a panel of experts to show up in April, or a collaboration that unleashes new data for research.
Bob Boynton:
It is now very easy to send videos to multiple sites simultaneously, i.e., without extra work. That seems a better solution than trying to invent a network that only the most interested will find. The 'problem' is getting viewers. If you take the videos off to somewhere where the viewers are not then it may be safe or not favor one commercial website -- but there will be many fewer viewers.

New Submission Deadline - January 21, 2009 - More Papers Welcome
{If you are eating bags of espresso beans and feverishly finishing your paper by 11:59 pm tonight, please do not read this...}
We are getting some last minute requests for extensions and therefore we will be issuing a new call for papers soon with an extended January 21, 2009 deadline.

Jon Hickey:
Thanks for extending the deadline! I hope to get something in!
Stuart Shulman:
The papers are slowly trickling in. We certainly have enough for a great couple of days. What the relatively small number of papers means is we will have a genuine workshop, where accepted papers will get the full attention of all the attendees. Keep writing...9 full days left!

MPSA
Did anyone else apply or think about attending MPSA? Sadly, I did not realize that MPSA and the YouTube conference will be held the same weekend. Anyone else in this position?
Ken Rogerson:
I, too, would appreciate a date change. As long as it remains on a weekend, the end of the semester shouldn't be a problem for me.
Stuart Shulman:
We are now looking at 16/17 (Thursday/Friday) or 24/25 (Friday/Saturday). Stay tuned!
Stuart Shulman:
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.co...)
But I wonder if anyone is doing such a thing for social science research into social media & politics. These types of studies are hard to find.

YouTube Election Video Database
Hi everyone,
For a while I've been wanting to put together a database of all the election videos released by the candidates on YouTube, and I think I finally have the tools and web development skills to do it. The idea is to download all of the videos off of YouTube and upload them to my server so they won't disappear if the candidates decide to remove them. From there, they can be categorized and tagged to aid in searching.
I can al...... [read more]
Stuart Shulman:
Jon,
We are doing something like that using Tubekit,
however, I think the data is being stored locally and not on a publically
accessible server. I do think a repository of election videos and metadata would
be one of the contributions of this conference to the development of the field.
~Stu
Bob Boynton:
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.

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 little hazy, there is not much evidence he’s ever going to become a small business owner. And he would be a beneficiary of the Barack Obama tax plan.
I think the lessons here are very clear:

Not Ready '08
This is an interesting site:
http://notready08.com/
It is collection of videos designed to show that Obama is not ready to be the President.
Chuck Tryon:
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.

Invitations
It seems to me that there would be considerable utility for the conference in inviting someone who had been engaged in the YouTube campaigns of the candidates to attend the conference and make a presentation about what they had done. We could see how our views of the campaign squared with theirs.
Stuart Shulman:
Great idea Bob. Would you like to take the lead on investigating who might fit that description?
Bob Boynton:
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:
