Techcrunch, or TechPolitics
If you are one of those who follow in someway the web 2.0 phenomenon, then you have heard about Techcrunch, one of the top weblogs dedicated to profiling new Internet products and companies in the Valley.
Being an icon of the web 2.0, it is very interesting the fact that they have decided to put an eye on the US 2008 presidential process, launching the ‘Tech President Primaries’.
The goal of this initiative is to hold their own political primaries online. Techcrunch will endorse one candidate from each the Democratic and th Republican party as the ‘Tech President’ candidate, based on results from reader voting and blog input from their community of followers.
Readers are encouraged to review the candidates and check out where they stand on different tech issues like Digital Divide, Technology Education or Renewable Energy.
Voting opened on December 18th and ends next Friday January 18th. Only one ballot per user and per day will be counted in the final vote.
Let’s see who becomes the ‘Tech President’.
