We’re Working for Fred June 13, 2007

Posted by Todd Zeigler in Bivings, Politics

You know you’re busy when you are a week late breaking your own news. The Bivings Group is part of the team working on the Fred Thompson website.

Last night, the team rolled out a new version of the I’m With Fred website. This release includes a blog and tools that allow supporters to draft letters to the editor and call talk radio. Profiles have also been launched on MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.

Stay tuned and share your thoughts in the comments.

    A word to the wise: you’ve set up a profile on Twitter for Fred…but to get any real use out of it, he has to “tweet.” In other words, he has to get on the site and dialogue with people from time to time.

    It’s worth it. Twitter is heavy on tech-industry movers and shakers, active and well-known bloggers and vloggers, and people who live and work in the D.C. area. It attracts affable, sociable people who take a genuine interest in other people, and who enjoy making connections, shmoozing, and passing along useful information.

    True, it’s possible to set up scripts to send blog post links to Twitter under Fred’s user profile. It’s okay to do that, but this is NOT enough. If you want to get any real use out of the site, the candidate himself has to interact. This means reading what fellow twitterers have to say, answering people’s questions, comments, and suggestions, and so forth. If you just have a user profile there gathering cobwebs, nothing will happen!

    You have my email addy. I’m a fairly new, but active twitterer myself. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

    Awesome work. I need to pick your brain on something tangentially related.

    I just took at the look of the first of your tools, the letter to the editors tool, and that is really powerful and cool. I think, it widely utilized, it can have quite an impact. Will you be providing sample letters or facts, or readers, in their composition of the letters, are on their own. Also linked to this post at Politics 2.0

    Do me a favor and don’t add sample letters to your letter to the editor tool or even bullet points that can be cut and pasted.

    Letters editors spend a lot of time keeping letters containing copied rhetoric out of their papers. Organizations that do this burn a lot of political capital with editorial boards.

    Fred’s site with the guitar player is a pretty phony attempt to bring him down to earth. Do you expect us to think that because of that he’s ‘one of us’? We still know he’s a CFR member and just like the others.

    Ron doesn’t do his campaigning out of necessity, but this is proof that this is a man who knows how the freemarket will take care of ITSELF. This is man who would not waste the taxpayers money. This is how someone who is called the ‘taxpayers best friend’ by the NTU behaves.

    This is proof this man would make an excellent, no the BEST president.

    Fred should not bother. He doesn’t have the energy, nor does he even look interested in being president. I wonder who is pushing him to do it?
