I help wrap-up this Reuters story on how the Internet continues to change politics:
David All, a 29-year-old Republican communications consultant who launched the realworldrepublicans.com website this weekend, said his party needed to embrace new technologies.
The Republican Party risks losing an entire generation of voters because they aren’t investing in new media like text messaging, All said.
“We’ve got an entire generation that is trying to change the world in 160 characters or less,” he said, referring to the maximum length of cell phone text messages. “The problem with that is Republicans aren’t giving those folks anything to put out.”
The coolest part about being quoted in a Reuters or other wire story is that it shows up in media outlets throughout the world: India, Croatia, Qatar, Pakistan, Kuwait, Australia, etc.
Indeed, the world is flat.
