It’s a beautiful Sunday, 85 degrees with no cloud in site. All your friends are sitting on a deck drinking a pitcher of Bud Light and watching Talladega. But you don’t like the sun, beer, or NASCAR. You’d rather sit inside and play on the Internet all day.
We got smoked in 2008 with young voters. A study by the Pew Research Center showed “66% of those under age 30 voted for Barack Obama making the disparity between young voters and other age groups larger than in any presidential election since exit polling began in 1972.”
Ouch!
Just in case you didn’t see this attack coming 120 miles away (the distance from Columbia to Gaffney) I thought I’d bring it to your attention. The South Carolina Democrats are playing hard and slamming Republican State House candidate Steve Moss for being a banker.
This week Clark and I are broadcasting Livin’ Venti from Mo Mo’s on Devine Street in Columbia, SC. Despite my brain being fried from a very long week of work, we were able to hold a 30 minute chat about how Internet video is changing the game, the ease of starting a web business, Dave Matthew’s new single release and email/cell phone number capture gimmick, and the new book “Getting Real” by 37 signals.
Check out the guy who finally decided to show up for the party. It’s none other than my Livin’ Venti co-host Clark “The Money Making Machine” Covington. Seriously people, if you aren’t following Clark on Twitter you seriously either 1. don’t care about making money on the Internets or 2. don’t want to laugh your butt off throughout the day.
You want to keep up with all the latest tech, marketing, Internet geeky stuff like us. We know you do. That’s why Adrienne and I link all the good jack we read over at PNN. This is important stuff people. How in the world do you expect to relate to other people and be successful if you don’t read our Geek Links?
Pretty good business principle, huh? What I mean is…don’t go making big promises on the Internet if you can’t make them happen. This is my video apologizing for not dancing with the Liberty Tax Statue of Liberty this week.
I’m excited to see that South Carolina’s legslators aren’t just using blogs and Twitter to communicate with their constituents. A few of them are cutting frequent videos too. Here are the latest clips from Under The Power Lines clients Nathan Ballentine, Tom Young, and Thad Viers.
I don’t talk a whole lot about South Carolina politics on this site but I feel a little obligated to since my boss released a sweet plan to create jobs for our state which, by the way, now has the honor of having the second highest unemployment rate in the nation.
Two of my buddies got brand new iPhones this week and I told them I’d give them suggestions on some really great apps. I also figured Apple could use some help getting their 1 Billionth download. So here they are…9 apps I use nearly every day and 1 great app I use to fight off The Dark Side.
