Interactive Campaigning ala Wiki

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the let-the-edit-wars-begin dept.

brettlg writes to tell us LinuxInsider is reporting that Utah Democratic hopeful, Peter Ashdown, is hoping to leverage his knowledge of the internet and small business resourcefulness to take down the incumbent Senator Orrin Hatch next year. From the article: "Peter Ashdown is the founder of Xmission, Utah's oldest Internet service provider (ISP). His Web site includes a blog and a monthly live chat session. But Ashdown's site takes public participation on his campaign Web site one step further -- opening his platform to all. The site is based on the "Wiki" open-source model made famous by Wikipedia."

    They watch more porn videos than NY.

    Last time they tried to rail-road some book store owner, he got the statistics video rental stores and from some pron websites and won his case for "community standards" because most of the video rentals and pron downloads came from some ISP in Utah.

    Case dismissed.
