On the Web, Clinton Leads the Pack
New York Senator Hillary Clinton is making use of several tech-savvy Internet tools to promote her candidacy for the US presidency.
Beginning with an e-announcement last weekend, Clinton followed up strong with three live web chats this week as well as a town hall meeting in cyberspace.
Through video streamed on her Web site, for a half-hour Clinton answered about a dozen queries on each of three evenings this week. Questions ranged from "What is your favorite movie?" to "Do you plan on ending our dependence on foreign oil?"
Clinton also used the Yahoo Answers service to ask voters: ``Based on your own family's experience, what do you think we should do to improve health care in America?'” By 5 p.m. Pacific time, Clinton had gotten more than 33,000 answers, making her question the second-most popular in the history of Yahoo Answers.
"Internet and technology has become an integral part of politics, and it is a great way for Sen. Clinton to have a conversation with people," said Peter Daou her campaign's Internet director.
