Pickens Plan Web Program Wins Reed Award

push

Last week a project we work on, the Pickens Plan, won a Reed Award for best use of social networking technology.  The Reed Award is put on by Campaign & Elections’ Politics Magazine and recognizes excellence in political communication.  The award was given in recognition of Push.PickensPlan.com, a Ning-based social network that has attracted around 200,000 members who support the principles of the Pickens Plan. 

Along with My.BarackObama.com, Push.PickensPlan.com is one of the first social action networks, which, put simply, are social networks focused on achieving political or legislative goals.  We’ll be writing more about this trend in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
