Just in case you might be interested, Susan Manning and Dan Balzer over at LearningTimes and I recently did a Skype call to discuss the use of social tools in the current presidential campaigns. Here is the podcast and here are the show notes.

Hi Will – long time no comment 😉 I just spotted this in my Technorati page and thought you (and your readers) might be interested in the UK take on this. I’ve been with some Westminster politicians and hacks in London today talking about social media’s impact on society and government here. There are some definite crossovers.
The first post of today from me is here:

I think sociologists would have a field day with this social politics phenomenon. Especially the idea that we are all, perhaps more transparent with our political leanings when we are online.
