Canvassing 2.0

Digital Politics podcast today with guest Eimar Boesjes, Chief Technical Officer, Moonshadow Mobile is a view into the next generation of political campaign management.  With the mobile app Ground Game that Moonshadow has developed with Labels & Lists, they are redefining the way campaigns can target and engage constituents face-to-face as well as online and changing what it means to be a volunteer for a campaign.  Moonshadow has also been developing mobile apps for candidates.

Eimar is very insightful about how to get people to accept change and the impact a good interface can have on adaptation.  His mobile apps take full advantage of Google maps–an interface most of us have become quite familiar with. He also relates how his 16 year old sons have learned to send text messages in the dark because they have had to deal with restrictions in school and so they text with smart devices in their pockets.

Eimar is very excited about the potential of the iPad to help deploy his apps for campaigns up and down the ballot.

Listen to this interview about how campaign management will never be the same again.
