Email and TV ads more important than facebook and twitter.

The buzz about Facebook and Twitter in the nonprofit sector seems to be proportional to how many consultants are trying to sell it to nonprofits.

Password security is an interesting catch 22 particulalry when we are accessing from multiple devices as well as using integrated/interlocking tools. or in some enviroments shared passwords for enterprise access to tools. Looking forward to hearing further disucssion.
- Reed Stockman
I think David and Alan's point is that we should have been more specific about the kinds of viruses and malware that could have been downloaded and the various remediation steps for those. David mentioned one type -- keyloggers -- but it would apply to others.
- Marnie Webb
@reed -- you're right, of course, password mgmt in orgs is hard (FYI; we have absolutely no reason to believe any of the passwords we store on our system were compromised).

"Be good"

I love this: "Tamagotchi effect: If you take care of your users, the right investors will rally around you and talented hackers will line up to work for you." Graham +1 ;-)
- Erhan Erdoğan
I like that :). And I appreciated this paragraph in particular: "The curious thing is, this elixir is freely available to any other company. Anyone can adopt 'Don't be evil.' The catch is that people will hold you to it." Friendfeed, clearly, has opened up with clear expectations to "be good." People will hold it (and them, the employees) to that standard, and I think that's awesome :)

There's are a lot of disgruntled Dems who will claim that Obama is taking over the party. They'll claim that this actually disempowers the netroots movement. I disagree but that's how a lot of more corporatist Dems were spinning it even before the announcement.
- Allan Benamer
from twhirl
@Carla: What Diane just said. :) Politicians will not upend Washington.
- Gregor Morrill
@Diane, Gregor: But this policy change takes away the biggest and most blatant avenue of corruption. To go further (non-fed govt, family members, etc) is to invite a legal challenge on free speech grounds and the chance of having the whole thing ruled out.
- Jason B.
@Gregor: Steps like this can mean progress. :P
- Sheryl
OMG how I love my party right this second.
- Cyndy
Meh. Are we talking every Democrat in Congress is going to adopt this, or just the DNC? If it's not the former, I don't buy that it's really a step, but rather clever marketing.
- Gregor Morrill
@Gregor: Dude, your rampant cynicism means that nothing anyone does will be enough. This is a monumental step when you look at the power lobbyists have had on the parties as a whole. It's probably the first major step backwards from the lobbyist mess we've seen out of either party. This most certainly is a step. As for congress, more and more candidates are running on this sort of pledge. No way it's going away overnight.
- Jason B.
To the contrary, I believe getting government out of regulating all the areas it does - that lobbyists are thus drawn to - would be a great first step. That's where lobbyists get this "power", the fact that government regulates in their field.
