In the partisan windup to this long election process, we've become almost inured to the fact that as much as things will continue to be the same, already the "choice" between the two candidates has produced one sure thing. That is, either of the two candidates represents fundamental change from the status quo, no matter how much you want to differentiate further. So it is with the shift to the Cloud. Whether you're betting on Google, or Amazon, or Microsoft, or less obviously Apple, IBM, Oracle, or Cisco, the sure thing is that Web services has gone main stream. If this is a horse race at the vendor level, it's about each company's ability to harness its innate strengths and migrate its weaknesses. Put another way, the battle is within, not between. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/EVyfLSbIc-A/ So much of this long protracted struggle for political change has rubbed off on the tech community.

This year, the mainstream media found itself at times running against both parties. Perhaps drawing on Mr. Obama’s background as a community organizer, his campaign decided early on to build a social network that would flank, and in some cases outflank, traditional news media. With a Facebook group that had 2.3 million adherents and a huge push on YouTube — last week alone, the campaign uploaded 70 videos, many of them tailored to battleground states — the campaign used peer-to-peer communication to build a juggernaut that did not depend on the whims and choices of the media’s collective brain trust. The campaign mined its online community not just for money, but for content. A video titled “Four Days in Denver” about the Obama campaign had the kind of access that journalists would kill for, including the candidate working over his acceptance speech with a staff member and showing the family backstage making ready for their moment in the spotlight. It looked like a big-time network get, but it was produced by the campaign itself. “We’re constantly experimenting with videos,” said Joe Rospars, Mr. Obama’s new-media director. “There aren’t hard and fast rules about what will inspire supporters or explain things clearly.” The most popular videos on BarackObama.com weren’t TV ads; they were biographical videos and Web-only recordings. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/03/business/media/03media.html?ref=business The Republicans have made a habit of running against the media in elections past.
