With tables and chairs! by Adam Markus http://www.socialminds.jp/blog/2007/06/12/vote-for-me-ive-got-an-office-with-tables-and-chairs/#comment-3 Adam Markus Tue, 26 Jun 2007 14:26:03 +0000 http://www.socialminds.jp/blog/2007/06/12/vote-for-me-ive-got-an-office-with-tables-and-chairs/#comment-3 Ed, I know you have focused your comments on Second Life spaces, but it seems to me that at least for the time being it make much more sense for political candidates to have web sites that do all of things you mention. Simply put anyone who would use Second Life also uses the web and most of the functions you mention strikes me as not requiring or necessarily being great enhanced by Second Life. Getting the internet literate to act is becoming increasingly easy. I suggest taking a look at http://www.barackobama.com/ to view a site that has played a significant role in fund raising and political activism. In the US, at least, the legal requirements related to donations require a certain amount of legalize (see the donation page on the Obama site). His site takes donations of any size ($10 is the listed minimum, but the other space allows for any amount to be included). I actually think a better use for Second Life would be didactic (the use of 3 dimensional spaces for the analysis, visualization, and discussion of complex issues) or possibly as a space to conduct survey research among a particular voting segment (Second Life users).
