MoMoDC- January 15th at the Science Club
The Elephants go texting one by one. Hurrah. Hurrah
Smile, we're talking about a near and upcoming Monday!
In autumn 2006, the Republican National Committee launched a text messaging campaign designed to drive its core supporters to the RNC Website to gather information, make a donations, and take action. How successful was the RNC's foray into mobile politics? What lessons did they learn from the field? How is text messaging being absorbed into politics?
The speaker for this event, Patrick Ruffini of the RNC, will discuss lessons learned from the RNC's 2006 text messaging campaign on January 15th, 2007. Please register for the event here: http://www.mobilemonday.net/mm/washingtondc/

What a SHOCK to find Mobile Monday in Washington DC. I was in Singapore in 2006 (Mobile Content 2006 event) and asked about DC operation and was told there was none. I even contacted MoM Singapore in September and there seemed to be no presence here.
Look forward to the meeting.
Going to Singapore and Malaysia for Digital Learning event where I am talking about Flash Cards w/Mobile Access.
