I have signed up for a scholarship to a Netroots Nation training session in Minneapolis on the use of social media (FB, twitter, blogging) in movement organizing. I will no doubt be the oldest person applying, and apparently it involves getting people to vote for me (which involves 'voters' giving their contact info to "Democracy for America", a "progressive democrats" type on-line organization. Anyway, here's the info if you want to cast a "ballot" (I suppose they figure it's an effective form of multi-level marketing. Anyway, it doesn't cost anything.)

Dear Michael, Thank you for applying for a Netroots Nation Scholarship. It is a very competitive process, but you can help increase your chances of winning by generating votes from your friends, family, and neighbors. The first round ends on March 21st, and if you are not selected in this round, you will automatically be entered into the second round. The votes you earn now will roll over. Since you have applied in the first round, you have the advantage of extra time to build support. Here are just some ideas about how you can increase your vote totals: 1) Blog about your application and encourage your readers to vote for you 2) Share your application on Facebook 3) Use Twitter to reach out to a vast network of progressives 4) Email your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and even acquaintances asking them to vote for you (it's really easy!)
