Barry Saunders explores the breadth of the online environment's role in the American Presidential Election 2008. Blogging may have been the emphasis of recent elections but other mediums are also gaining stature in the online political commentary arena. For starters (almost) an entire campaign was micro-financed, taking in a huge number of donations. 'Crowdsourced' journalism is making its way onto the front pages of a number of sites, social networks host official campaign profiles while users scramble to embed banners and change profile photos. Video blogging (both serious and spoof) and official campaign footage litter YouTube. The micro-blogosphere pings away with snippets of election talk. Mobile phones and devices feed instantaneous information to people, no matter where they are. Other phenomenon such as citizen predictive analysis of polls and election promise fact checking have changed the way election promises and mudslinging occurs. - elliott bledsoe
