I'm sorry to have missed this event:

The RNC’s Director of eCampaign, Cyrus Krohn, is on a panel with Joe Trippi today at “The New New Internet Web 2.0 for Business & Government conference.” As you’ll recall, Trippi ran Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign and used the Internet effectively to generate online support and contributions. He is now a senior advisor to the John Edwards for President campaign and remains a vocal proponent of democratizing Democracy through the Internet. We have to wonder if he is responsible for this effort to remove unfavorable content about his candidate from YouTube contradicting his principles of the Internet.

In Trippi’s book, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Democracy, the Internet, and the Overthrow of Everything, he says on page 102 he thinks the “Democratic Party [has] a leg up on the Internet”. Krohn will refute this point during his panel discussion later today. For those of you unable to attend with such late notice, Krohn will be twittering occasionally from the event between 1:15-2:05 p.m. ET. You can view his Twitter posts here or on Krohn’s Facebook page where he has a Twitter feed enabled.

Fortunately I'm now following @cyrusk. Are you?

Justin Miller over at Real Clear Politics surfs the YouTube channels of the Democratic Presidential candidates and finds that most of them are missing something: footage of their recent debate performance.

Surprisingly, modern media guru Joe Trippi's guy, John Edwards, who supposedly did a pretty good job during the debate doesn't have up any clips:

Strangest of all is John Edwards' channel, which has only a video of him arriving at the debate. His official website also lacks debate clips. Why is the Edwards campaign not touting his well-received performance through its web campaign, which has been described as one of the best in either party?
