The Internet is an attractive tool for promoting and practicing democratic values.  Honestly…otherwise we would not have commented on “Internet on Democracy” in previous posts.  For busy candidates, policy wonks, and activists, however, tapping the Internet’s full potential can be a daunting, time consuming task.  Fortunately, the Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet assists politicians during their quest to quickly master the Internet as a communication tool.

As an extension of George Washington University, the IPDI publishes research on the conversion of technology and politics including the following:

Political Advertising Online - Reaching voters through targeted advertising placements and SEO marketing.

Poli-fluentials - Identifying people willing to donate disproportionate amounts of time to campaign efforts.

Politic Rumors - An analysis of political rumors spreading through Egypt.
