MySpace and Presidential Politics Sunday’s NYT ran an article about MySpace’s new Impact Channel where presidential candidates’ profiles will be aggregated and presented for MySpace’s 60 million (mostly young) American members.

I got an email from Ethan today who is in Brooklyn working with Arthur and Zoey and one of our newest clients. On his way from their hotel to the client’s office, they spotted this poster: ShayaIsComing.org is a campaign of the Laborers Eastern Region Organizing Fund, one of our clients!

Last fall we began working with The Montana Conservation Voters . We just launched their new website MTVoters.org . We also launched MTVotersEdFund.org , the site for their Education Fund.

I was cleaning up my email in box today and noticed an email from Eliot Spitzer the newly minted governor of New York State. Nothing out of the ordinary there, until i went to set up a filter to stick the email (and the barrage of subsequent ones I am sure I will get) into a special folder. The “From” address was @ spitzer2010.com !

Today Viacom announced they have made a deal with Joost (not even in open beta yet) to distribute their content (from networks like Comedy Central and MTV). So you’ll have to wait until the summer to watch your favorite episodes of the real world.
A few hours ago a bunch of us got home from the 9th Ward where we volunteered with Habitat for Humanity.
I just arrived in New Orleans at the Southern Comfort Bed and Breakfast . The owner Cindee gave me a lay of the land (both the house, and what’s up in the city.) I think that we’re going to have a really good time here in the Crescent City this week.
