The New York Model
Sep 25th, 2004 by Jon Stahl
The New York Model covers some of the interesting ways that RNC protest organizers used SMS (text messaging), VoIP-powered automated telephone information lines, and other leading-edge network technology to power their “counter-convention” efforts, and the independent media coverage of it.
Fun stuff, although I’m still trying to figure out how it’s relevant to campaigns that are playing out over longer periods of time in less intense circumstances.
Btw. the folks who built these tools are going to be in Seattle 1st weekend of November for our next cAts get together.
