That's be Hawker Britton? Who does the Tories, do they outsource to advertising industry "pros"? I see another Dick, Cameron, is up for polishing the leather. Agreed. That’s be Hawker Britton?

Only interesting thing here is how it all went wrong, it being detected that she gave the eCampaigning gig to "southerners" when the overegged theme of the site and campaign is "Jobs for Queenslanders". That's what got picked up and went mini-viral, including in teh Courier, (<blockquote>"Ms Bligh did not give her usual post-Cabinet press conference, but came under fire after it was revealed her new website, Anna4Qld, which carries the slogan "protecting Queensland jobs" was developed interstate" ... Ouch, not happy <strike> Jessica </strike> <strike> Holly </strike> Jan )</blockquote> ABC radio/site and the mass Gen X/Y afternoon metropolitan freebie paper MX, whose awe and imagination the whole 2.0 shenanigans was presumably meant to capture. Again, Ouch, half of these pps will be, or know, a web monkey who needs a break. Yes, Virginia, the MSM does pick up stories from the web. <a href="http://ambit-gambit.nationalforum.com.au/archives/003479.html" rel="nofollow">Graham and his commenters over at AmbitGambit </a> seems to have said all that needs to be said.

I've had a day tied up in meetings from 9am to 4pm so haven't really had the time to blog, but I might put something up about it tomorrow. Is there anything in particular you found noteworthy about the site and/or its promotion? I haven't really had much of a chance to look beyond seeing the stuff on Facebook. danny, I think it is becoming less noteworthy and more standard practice for campaigning.

Or are election2.0, esp in qld, sorts of things just so old hat and marginal now, post Obama and K07? Reasonable question I think: Will we be getting a thread about Anna’s “carpet bombing” eCampaign?
