Is Google the New Media Mogul? by The Motley Fool Aug/2008
"...This month, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) will
sponsor a two-story headquarters for bloggers at the
DNC in Denver. It's planning a similar setup for the
Republican convention in September...."
"Does anyone else find this
fascinating? To me, we're watching a new-media
mogul in the making. Traditional media outlets own
permanent facilities, employ legions of reporters, and
control the content. In fact, control is the
key...."
The 2008 presidential race has changed forever
political reporting. The internet, Web and CLOUD
computing together are effectively giving more and
more control over to individuals and companies - but
only to those that take advantage of it.

Dear Tom,
There is
nothing permanent except CHANGE
(Heraclitus -
ancient Greek Philosopher)
An inevitable
law of nature - and also a perpetual promise of
politicians in election years!
We're not waiting till election day, WE ARE
CHANGING
starting Oct -2008. You will see a new www.GAFYD.net
website plus its associated Blog, and
experience brief easy read mailings focused
on events and promotions that have value to
you.
Technology is a world of rapid perpetual change, and
with such prevelance in our life, changes in
technology can impact near everything. Consider
how it's redefined political fund raising and all political
event reporting.
- EXAMPLE - this year both the Democratic
and Republican national conventions had 300-500
additional "credentialed" individuals reporting
news, live during convention events.
- WHO you ask? Bloggers and other
alternative journalists, near 500 folks ranging
from individuals to representatives of small media
outlets - that had the same on-site reporting ability as
any major news / media station.
- HOW you ask? via the "two story - 8,000
sq ft" WiFI enabled Google tent facility located
in downtown Denver LODO, an easy distance to the
convention hall.
So what will change in our Oct Newsletter?
ANSWER:
You'll see a brief "highlight" of this article - then with a

Come leverage the internet, gain the same massive
benefits today's politictians have tapped for their
organizations. TechEn can guide you through this
evolution, giving you access to the most affordable
computing resources available. Tap our expertise,
