Tonight, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), who announced her candidacy for president just a few days ago, is set to participate
in three live online chats, soliciting questions she'll respond to on her Web site. According to Peter Dao, her campaign Internet strategist, social and viral media will be vital to her campaign, due
to its sudden "ubiquity."
Former Sen.John Edwards, meanwhile, has posted 2.5-minute clips outlining the themes of his campaign to YouTube and Rocketboom.com; more than 100,000 clips have already been viewed, his Web strategist says. Arizona Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is being followed around by a videographer, who will post to McCain's site, while Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has sent email blasts to his supporters describing why he's running for president.
