Teachout from Dean
Posted on June 15, 2005
Zypher Teachout from Dean For America (which turned into Democracy for America) came to talk about her experience creating an idea virus on the internet. She talked a lot about her thoughts on utilizing email especially. A funny saying she had when giving suggestions on email was from Mark Twain "Draft Drunk & Edit Sober."
It, in my opinion, is a strectch to apply her methods and beliefs to our projects. Political organization and advertising is a different from creating a buzz about our films.
Zypher did have a lot of things to say that really reinforced existing beliefs I have. Things such as: The interenet is the way of the future, the trick is creating your internet site in a way that it is seen as a channel, instead of an offshoot.
My personal thoughts on this lecture? Well, I am just not sure if it really applies well to this class. Overall, however, it was nice to hear that some politicians are embracing technology.
