A fascinating new site focusing on presidential candidates and how they using and in some cases not using the world wide web to further their message and gain supporters in the upcoming presidential election: Techpresident.com

A Daily digest chronicles the ups and downs of each candidate on the web.
Interestingly enough there appears to be a underground Ron Paul movement that is trying to monopolize youtube videos and digg entries as the entry below describes:

“if you went to YouTube and searched for the latest videos on Giuliani you’d find no end of Ron Paul videos (because he’s everywhere) and then no end of videos from 9/11 conspiracy theorists and deniers and Giuliani haters. Fringe though they may be, these people own ‘Giuliani’ on YouTube”

Another entry examined the way the Barrack Obama campaign is using viral marketing:

“Barack Obama’s campaign has gone viral, writes Time’s Karen Tumulty. “No campaign has been more aggressive in tapping into social networks and leveraging the financial power of hundreds of thousands of small donors,” she says. While Obama has been the most successful at utilizing the web to generate micro-donations from 258,000 supporters in the first two quarters of the year”

The site has many great features including:

• Politickr- what are the candidates blogging about? What are they talking most about?
• Facebook supporters- Who’s up and who’s down on Facebook
• Candidate Flickr feeds
• My Space friends
• Youtube stats
• Technorati tracks

It’s one of those great sites you read and go why didn’t I do that or think of that. This is one site I will be following quite closely
