Hey Brent and David,
Great show as usual. It is so refreshing to hear two African American men in technology talk about another African American man using technology to further himself. In this case going farther means becoming the next President of the United States yet we as business people can also use these lessons to help us make huge strides.
Keep up the great work
JB

Great website. It has been fun to watch Barack use text messaging. As the text advisors for the Hillary Clinton campaign we can only wish that the campaign would have done all that we outlined to them, which Barack did in his campaign. Sen. Clinton did however get the religion toward the end of the campaign and began using the service much more effectively.
We had great success at moving people to volunteer at the grass roots level. As a matter of fact our response rates were so unbelievable that the campaign sometimes had hard time keeping up!
Hats off to Obama for running a great text campaign. I hope he keeps it up.
