A few folks have suggested organizing a Digg or YouTube team to help positive coverage get the publicity it deserves; or a group of bloggers to help stories get the in-links to help rank high in search engines. Which should we do first?

create a grasstank group on barackobama.com
Top Quality Obama Campaign HQ on Silicon Island in Second Life.
A sticker that combines the logo with the number 8 - it would mean Obama 08, but would be a memorable way to promote the logo and the Senator's campaign.
Push using yahoo pipes to list all events listed on barackobama.com in WA state. The pipe exists: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/UG7OFoLK2xG77mrtdLq02Q/run?_render=rss. You can see it in action at http://www.obama08-wa.com/?q=our-meetups.
We need look no further than the current administration to realize our election process is dysfunctional in selecting wise and qualified leaders. It is a house of cards built with thousand-dollar bills. One courageous candidate can change it.
Please leave a comment if you have suggestions for how we could update the GrassTank site design to make it more useful or usable.

The west coast started http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/WestCoastGrassrootsCooperative and similar groups might help open the relationships so that we could organize regionally like having Nebraskans go to Iowa.

We should add an RSS feed for the latest proposals. Maybe also the latest groups.

Use the free online petition site to create petitions for all 50 states asking for governors, senators, etc. to endorse the Barack Presidency.
Should our Groups functionality (http://www.wuxx.com/obamasphere/PeopleAndGroups/AddGroup.aspx) support a single group having multiple sites; like a MeetUp site, a YahooGroup, and a my.barackobama.com site?

We should create badgets / widgets for users to place on their Facebook, MySpace or other web pages
Submitted by: Rob Dolin on 2/4/2007 4:17:10 AM
We should create an intranet site for all of the materials that we're compiling to promote Senator Obama's candidacy

We need a more active Rapid Response team of bloggers to counteract misinformation about Obama. The DraftObama.org site has started collecting volunteers, but this needs to be an active element of the Obama grassroots capacity.
To take the google search out of trying to find a local Obama Group, we should consolidate a list here or at Draftobama.
GrassTank could be a great resource to find online media - especially social media - and encourage folks to promote them to the larger community.
We should have an online scoreboard of myspace groups and facebook groups, etc. to see how Obama stacks up to Hillary and Edwards
I was on a call with one of the founders of DraftObama.org tonight and IMHO, the best thing we can do now is reach-out to our friends, neighbors, and co-workers and encourage them to get involved.

Set up a "WebRing" or "Blogrolling" service to link together all Obama supporting web sites without each of them having to constantly update their page of links...
Visitors should be able to click submitter names to see other proposals from that submitter.
Submitted by: Rob Dolin on 2/8/2007 9:37:40 AM
The campaign should role out O8 stickers. That's the letter O for Obama and the number 8 as in 2008
In 2004, iTunes made all convention speeches and debate audio free to download. I recommend we do this immediately with Senator Obama's announcement speech.
We should have a house party kit with a DVD, envelopes, bumper stickers, buttons, issue flyers, Obama bio flyers, sample electronic and print invitations, and a how to + FAQ for hosting a house party

Dr. Taibi Kahler was hired to give Bill Clinton psychodemographic polling information for his '96 campaign. Obama should hire Taibi to help tailor his messages in a way that optimally resonates with his audience.
Volunteers to video or obtain video from Sen. Obama's campaign stops.
One of the biggest reasons I came to this site is so that I could have an easy source for all of the Barack Obama news, as well as being able to check in on proposals and groups.
A free, web-based filesharing cabinet for groups to share resources
Senator Obama should consider a west coast meet and greet and fundraising trip

No Democrat dating to Woodrow Wilson has won the White House without winning Southern states. Go to Victory2008.net and click on Southern Strategy for electoral totals for Democratic presidents from 1912 to 1996.
There are many social networking sites, but none that allow large groups to coordinate with each other, until now. I am not an employee of Zanby, but believe that this is the tool the Obama supporters need. http://zanby.com/
In this box, a quick summary description would be best. All you have is 250 words - so give us your idea in a sentence or two.
Radio show on BlogTalkRadio...
Integrate the Open ID indentity login into this site and encourage all other Obama sites to use it, to allow for single login across them all.
Sunday, August 24th, 2008 article in the NY Times............Obama needs to heed this message!
On the Groups page, I've just enabled "joining" groups. Should group admins get an email when a new person joins their group or maybe a weekly digest?

A most appealing aspect of Sen. Obama's magnetic personality is his approachability. A strategy is needed to preserve a feature that can be persuasive to disengaged "digital natives" who will be coming into a national campaign for the first time.
Get everyone here to become digg.com "friends" to each other and vote up good Obama digg submissions
Use both platforms to get the messages out.
I have many years of experience in Democratic political campaigns. Put me to work.
More folks could vote for Obama in their precints, if they were aware of the link to a MAIL IN OPTION. This is designed for people unable to physically attend the caucus, due to
disability, military service and religious reasons.
e mail this link: Mail in precinct caucus vote vote for Washington State. Are there similar links in other states?

WA state obama supporters overwhelming communicate with senators cantwell and murray that we want their superdelegate votes to reflect the overwhelming popular vote majority for obama
so many things dont get mentioned that would male a huge deal i am white and live in rural pa there are a few things that need to be expressed one most important is not interested in taking guns from hunters or entuaiast for any reason this is a huge deal
March through the streets of the 5 largest cities in PA on April 20, 2008.
What are the Similarities the American President Elect, Barack Obama has with the former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela?
The Best Answer to this Question will be sent to CNN for publicity.
Thanks .. Sunday Will Smog Ejianya
Invite Friends functionality (http://www.wuxx.com/obamasphere/PeopleAndGroups/invite.aspx) is up and running and now. We could also support inviting from other services like MySpace, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. What is your priority?

A most appealing aspect of Sen Obama is his approachability and magnetic personality. A SecondLife strategy can give younger voters a unique virtual experience that capitalizes on Sen Obama's unique personality.
For broad communication and/or idea sharing, I would suggest local groups consider using the proposals system on http://www.wuxx.com/obamasphere.
