IP Democracy: New Online Site About Online Presidential Politics

The New York Times’ Robert Levine whet my appetite to find out more about a new online site, Techpresident.com, which promises to cover the online aspects of the coming presidential campaign. But, either a giant screw-up occurred over at techpresident.com or the site’s servers have been flooded by traffic.

Here’s the message I get at the techpresident.com URL:

This account has been suspended.
Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources.

In any event, when the site is up and running again, you’ll supposedly find a group blog run by twelve contributors that provides information and analysis for the political professional on how to make use of the growing array of Internet technologies. The site’s an extension of the Personal Democracy Forum, (note: the same technical afflictions that have shut down techpresident.com have also shut down personaldemocracy.com) with Micah Sifry the editor of both sites and Internet entrepreneur Andrew Rasiej backing both sites.
