Mark Warner impresses me, and if you are a politician or campaign director, pay attention to what he is doing. The Caucus tells us that the former Virginia Governor is using known bloggers to help him get in touch with the ‘myspace generation’. While many politicians have acknowledged the importance of the intert, Warner has embraced it. The effectiveness of his Facebook profile is a start, and the fact that he has hired a well-known blogger to head up his internet team goes a long way to helping him securing what is a new, younger, and better-informed voting public. In short, he “gets it.”
And the best part? That he held a press conference in the online game Second Life. As we become used to living through our computer screens, events like this will be better attended than their real-world equivalents.

What’s the deal with this website?
You're reading BlogCampaigning. We write about public relations, social media, video games, marketing and pretty much whatever we feel is important. We've been around since August, 2006

Jens "Schredd" Schroeder has been around since the beginning, and he mostly writes about video games.

Heather Morrison is our newest recruit, and she also blogs about life in the big city at Toronto Uncovered.

All of the content on this site is cleaned up by Adam Gorley, our resident copy-editor. He does a hell of a job, and he also writes a few posts for us now and then. Not a lot of people know this, but he is also a soul music DJ who goes by the name "Night Danger."

Parker Mason is the self-described Editor-in-Chief of BlogCampaigning and runs the site with an iron fist. He's also a pretty great guy - you should meet him sometime.

Espen Skoland started this website a few years ago so that he could get extra marks for his thesis, but he's pretty much given up on contributing. Still, we often refer to him as The Legendary Founder. He might be lazy, but he left us with a legacy.
