Bush’s webmaster reviews UK election sites: Patrick Ruffini asseses
the “e-campaigns” of the Labour and Conservative parties. Patrick, who
headed up the Bush-Cheney blog and served as the campaign’s defacto
liasion with the blogosphere, has some great insights into what the UK
campaigns learned (or missed) from last year’s U.S. campaign’s online
efforts.
Quote:
Labour.org.uk does give us several blog-like peeks behind the curtains
of the campaign. Unlike the U.S. campaign blogs, the focus is less on
rapid response, frequent updates, and feeding the blog community as it
is on behind-the-scenes coverage, channeling you Tony Blair’s Diary, Deputy PM Prescott’s “battlebus”, and stories from the constituencies.
