Tim O’Brien provides a fun read – breaking down the web sites (and technology behind them) for the various presidential candidates. Some highlights:
Barack and Hillary are all about video. In fact, CNN just engaged in media fusion [BARF -ed.] by playing the Clinton video on the TV. Think about this, a Cable Television channel just declared “Breaking News”, loaded up a browser and streamed the video over live television.
My money is on Hillary getting technology wrong, her site is a little too slick compared to Obama’s very grassroots feel.
It’s also interesting that the agreed upon front-runners are both using ASP.NET, what does that say about the relative cost of implementing ASP.NET (both McCain and Clinton are ahead in fundraising, but you wouldn’t necessarily say that the Brownback campaign is flush with funds).
