Freshmen Lawmakers Bring Wealth Of Tech, Telecom Experience, by Winter Casey, National Journal, Congress Daily, Dec. 8, 2008. [subscription required]
Freshmen lawmakers are not only eager to use the latest technologies to communicate with constituents — many of them come from tech and telecom backgrounds. Most used some type of new media tool on their campaign pages, and nearly half provided links to online blogs, according to a National Journal analysis. Almost half also linked to YouTube videos, followed by Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Twitter and Blip.tv sites. A spokesman for YouTube said the company did a lot of outreach to candidates early on.
