			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyday we are seeing new ways social media services are changing how we experience events in our community to around the world.  This coming November 4th Americans will head to the polls for the Presidential Election and from my memory this will be the first Election since twitter/social media has taken off.</p>
<p>Enter the <a href="twittervotereport.com">Twitter Vote Report</a> (twittervotereport.com) : </p>
<blockquote><p>So, get ready to Twitter your Vote Report! Voters can share their experiences with other people in real-time using Twitter.com. This will help other voters not to show up when the lines are too long, and let the media and watchdog groups know that there are machinery problems or that voters are being asked for identification unnecessarily (or necessarily if they are first-time voters) in certain precincts. </p></blockquote>
<p>To let your voice be heard on the report go to twitter, write your message and use the hashtag <strong>#votereport</strong>.</p>
<p>Report back with posts on things like :</p>
<p>1. The time of day (9:20 am, 1:12 pm)<br />
2. The zip code you just voted in (e.g. 10591, 10012)<br />
3. The issue: Wait (e.g. a waiting time of over ½ hour) Reg. (e.g. a problem with your registration)  Machine (e.g. voting machines are broken or jamming)<br />
4.  Whatever else you feel like sharing on your experience.</p>
<p>I think it is gonna be interesting the part that social media and the social web plays in the next few weeks as we head to the polls.</p>

<a href="http://www.current.com">Current</a> has announced that while the presidental debates are going on before the election our tweets from <a href="http://www.twitter.com">twitter</a> will be streaming as Obama and McCain face off.  They are calling it "Hack The Debate".</p>
<blockquote><p>Current is partnering with Twitter to give your feedback and voice a home -- on TV as the various candidates debate. There will be four debates total, and we'll be broadcasting them live on Current TV as well as live streaming them on Current.com. </p></blockquote>
<p>The first debate is Sept 26th and the twitter stream during the debate will be on the channel itself as well as on current.com</p>
<p>I for one look forward to seeing how this little thing will work....will it be the greatest thing ever?  probably not...but I think its a great way of using technology to let people share their voice...but with that said I am sure there will be some tweets that do not make the broadcast.  </p>
<p>What are your thought on this idea?  Let everyone know...lets discuss.</p>
