Facebook and the DSU Elections
|
Mar 10th, 2008 at 07:00am |
My apologies for a handful of boring, informative posts. It'll get better. You know, maybe. At some point. I'll let you know.
This year's campaign includes a Facebook application. It presents information about the candidates, you can choose candidates to support (publicly or privately), it allows you to see who is garnering support, it shows you demographic breakdowns, it has a discussion board, you can make an asshole of yourself, you can invite your friends... go see for yourself.
Based on the candidate profiles, at least 5 out of the 8 candidates for executive positions have websites. A disappointing 1 out of the 5 Senate candidates has a website listed, but there's still time. Which leads me to this:
Dear candidates,
It's the year 2008. Students use the Internet to get information. So do you. So why don't you have a friggin website? While most voters can't be bothered to haul themselves on campus to listen to candidates talk at each other for 3 hours, many will click a link. If the candidates in 2000 managed to get themselves websites, you can, too. Use blogspot or wordpress or anything. It's not hard, honest. And if you've got $6, you can buy DouchebagMcGee.com and look professional. A winning candidate from last year told me that 800 people visited their website during 1 week of campaigning. Do you want to lose that market?
Love always,
-Mike

While I appreciate the advertising, I must stress the fact that I am not contesting any DSU elections this year.

Can someone guide me to where to learn how to build a website? Seriously
