The Bivings Group Launches Two New Websites for the Personal Democracy Forum March 17, 2009
In February we launched brand new, upgraded, and comprehensively re-designed versions of The Personal Democracy Forum’s sibling websites, personaldemocracy.com and techpresident.com.
There are tens of new features and offerings, but highlights include:
PdF Marketplace : a commercial bulletin board for the poli-tech community. Job postings, domain sales, resumes, web services — all have a place here for exposure to a highly targeted audience.
The Pdf Network : The Forum’s new membership program, providing insider access to key poli-tech thought leaders, discounts on conference attendance, networking, and advance notice on impending developments in the field. (Bonus: a subscription to one of several magazines is included in your membership.)
VoteVid : This is techPresident’s video forum, on which anyone can propose, share, and vote on online political videos.
Topics : The content produced by PdF’s magnificent stable of bloggers is now drawn directly into a set of seven verticals (eGovt, Fundraising, Mobile, Advertising, Video, Strategy and Cool Stuff)
Ratings and Metrics : blog posts are now rate-able through an AJAX-based five-star ranking system, and posts can be sorted by such metrics as “Most Emailed ” and “Most Read “.
Charts: PdF has added charts set to visually track such developing phenomena as the 2012 GOP presidential field, and the latest rankings of key political figures in terms of their Technorati rankings as well as the number of friends each has accumulated on Facebook.
Calendar : a listing of all of the most important and groundbreaking upcoming events as determined by the PdF editorial team.
Advocacy : a centralized grouping of the key players in political advocacy, along with profiles of each.
The reaction has been overwhelmingly welcoming and positive thus far, but have a look for yourself. Visit the site , create your free or paid membership , subscribe to the blog, learn about the fast-approaching 2009 PdF Conference . Then, let us know what you think.
