Special Interview with Julie Germany at the Politics Online Conference 2009 in Washington DC
April 20th, 2009 | by Liz Azyan
Today I've managed to interview Julie Barko Germany, who is organizer for the Politics Online Conference 2009 that I was due to attend in Washington DC. However due to the unfortunate turn of events, I am no longer able to attend the event but have done this interview to get some insight into all the action that has been going down at the conference. Julie serves as the director of the Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet and director of marketing and communications for The George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management
UK Politics Internships

I've recently been asked by a fellow undergraduate at my university of where to look for Politics Internships. I'd say first of all, this list might be a good start. If that fails, have a look at these websites

Great Video & eBook of the U.S. Air Force using New/Social Media
April 16th, 2009 | by Liz Azyan
This video features the creative and unique ways the U.S. Air Force is using New/Social Media to communicate and collectively generating ideas, experiences and knowledge with each other, family and friends as well as the public. Its truly an inspiring example of how we could use new/social media when we start using these tools with our head and heart rather than using policies or rules and regulations as our starting point. For me, new/social media can only be successful when it creates and invigorates meaning in our lives or to the lives of people who use them

After 85 posts & 5 months blogging: Here’s my top 10 posts
April 15th, 2009 | by Liz Azyan
Since my Top 5 post back in January was a hit, I'd thought I'd do a Top 10 post to update everyone with those interesting posts you might have missed. Some of them quite surprised me but that's what google analytics is telling me, who am I to argue with Google? ;p Its been a great 5 months so far and I'm hoping it will only get better. So much has happened since I started blogging, mostly exciting stuff and I encourage anybody who's got tons of experience and knowledge to start blogging! You don't know what you're missing!!!
Let’s MASH THE STATE! Get with the RSS program!
April 11th, 2009 | by Liz Azyan
Today I picked up on a brilliant initiative by Adrian Short to get UK local council websites to get wired up with an important and most basic element of web 2.0, which is the RSS feeds. I applaud this movement because throughout my research, the one thing that I always find frustrating as a user and a researcher is the fact that your local government website does not have RSS feeds! Here is Mash the State Blog and Twitter - @mashthestate
“Collectively Organizing and Mobilizing Action” (COMA) is the the Twitter Revolution for Moldova Protest and Amazon Fail
April 10th, 2009 | by Liz Azyan
What the Moldova Protest and #AmazonFail might have in common. Today I made the wrong decision to stay away from Twitter to concentrate on some thesis writing. However thanks to @TimCooperUK, I've been alerted on a recent activity on twitter that has been creating quite a lot of buzz if you search the hashtag #amazonfail. So I've decided to update an article I wrote recently regarding "People Power on Twitter" for the Moldova protest. You can find the original post below. Apparently, Amazon is deleting the rankings (de-rank) of LBGT and erotica books. Though this has possibly just caught on fire today, this has been going on since February. The response the authors affected got from Amazon was this
