    The iPhone app was Scott Goodstein's creation. I worked for Scott to develop the application. Blue State Digital was not involved in the effort, as far as I know.

    wow... way to forget the lead designers for the site John Slabyk & Scott Thomas, which is everything. It doesn't matter what it can do unless it looks appealing / modern / functional

    Welcome to the real world of superficial unsubstantiated politicking.


    AFTER he took office Obama said he wanted to emulate Lincoln, who knew little about military matters before he took office but learned on the job. He wasn't talking about military matters though, he was talking about the economy and admitting (finally) that he had no clear understanding of it.


    So, now we all get to participate in one man's job training program.


    As to computer "experts" (and admittedly I R one) I have never seen a profession so filed with "rainman" types who know how to do one thing really well but have trouble dressing themselves.


    The fawning over one left-wing candidate after another looked like more of a quest for "miss congeniality" than a contest of ideas.


    Now that it's too late, we will get to see what Obama actually stands for. I'm still not sure, and I'd still like to see his college grades. At least with Bush and Gore we KNEW that they almost flunked out (even if the media quickly forgot that in Gore's case).

    None, since she had no involvement in the campaign. But she's the one who actually got a cool Internet job in the White House as Obama's "director of citizen engagement."


    Oh the irony!

    It appears this post was way too intelligent for cheap commenter jokes.

    @joefry:

    This was horribly researched. Any list that doesn't include New Media Director Joe Rospars, the architect of Obama's entire web strategy, is a farce.

    @OliveCybele: Good suggestion, thanks. We've added Rospars -- which just shows how many people are jousting for the title.
