Digg at the Conventions
blog.digg.com — As the U.S. election season hits full swing, we ’re bringing this momentum to the upcoming political party conventions in Denver and St. Paul. Digg, along with Google & others, will be sponsoring the first ever new media center at the DNC. We’ve teamed up with MySpace, Rock the Vote and others to sponsor an event with the Impact Film Festival at the RNC.

- Tippx, on 08/21/2008, -35/+33Why would Digg be at the Republican national convention when John McCain doesn't know how to use a computer?
- damian7, on 08/22/2008, -7/+6Someone has to teach him Win98
- Atomic1fire, on 08/22/2008, -1/+9shouldn't this be in politics..
- hexydes, on 08/22/2008, -0/+9I'm so tired of reading political crap on Digg when I SPECIFICALLY set the filter to filter out political crap. Why bother even having the filter option available if people are just going to use it improperly?
- patpl22391, on 08/22/2008, -9/+17Digg doesn't deserve to be at either of the conventions...Digg belongs in the back alley trying to sell old "Ron Paul 2008" stickers to strangers walking by.

- connieLingus, on 08/22/2008, -10/+5"'l tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again"
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
digg don't believe a word they say - benman587, on 08/22/2008, -1/+10Kevin Rose is Obama's running mate?
- TyroPyro, on 08/22/2008, -2/+9Way to endorse and support the two party system
- DeuceDiggalow, on 08/22/2008, -4/+3Ugh... Myspace getting involved with politics... just what we need. Oh wait, they're owned by Fox. Myspace should stick to what they're good at: stupid pet trick videos.
- thetron, on 08/22/2008, -7/+1Please remember us international digger. Alot of the stuff isn't relevant content
- eggballs, on 08/22/2008, -1/+4"We’ve teamed up with MySpace, Rock the Vote and others to sponsor an event with the Impact Film Festival, which is celebrating the power of film to educate people on critical issues facing the world." Critical issues include worsening the US educational system, reinstating the draft, and conquering the world.
- spkrcity, on 08/22/2008, -3/+3***** the party conventions
Rally for the Republic FTW - gab00n, on 08/22/2008, -6/+3What will the Neo-Con fascist nut jobs whine about now?
- Zedizdead, on 08/22/2008, -2/+12Going to both conventions? Look at digg pretending to be neutral.
- novenator, on 08/22/2008, -4/+1Just like how the press reporting on news and facts are seen as 'liberal' or 'biased', now conservatives look to live reporting by Digg as being the same. I guess truth has a left slant.
- novenator, on 08/22/2008, -2/+6It'll be hard to report stories after I get arrested in St. Paul when I try to speak my mind after leaving the free speech zone
- mamamama2, on 08/22/2008, -0/+3Photographers are already being told to get themselves to the hinterlands. The city was given away by a democratic mayor who foolishly believes that this is a post-partisan environment.
- bipolarruledout, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1So does this mean special eithernet/wifi drops and catering for the bloggerati?
- Just, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1Digg teamed up with google, rumours of an acquisition are back !!
- mamamama2, on 08/22/2008, -1/+3From the Minnesota Public Radio Convention Blog:
At least three times in recent weeks, photographers say they've been stopped on public streets or sidewalks, told to stop taking pictures or produce identification or leave the area.
It happened to me yesterday, as I was walking down West 7th Street, past the St. Paul headquarters of the Travelers insurance company, carrying a Nikon SLR. A Wackenhut Corp. security guard approached me on the sidewalk, held up his hand to break my stride, then told me that I needed to show identification. He was wearing the same uniform as the guys you can see walking around inside the Travelers atrium.
I declined to give him anything, told him it was a public street, and proceeded to an appointment I had nearby.
It's eerily similar to the experience of a Washington, D.C., area photographer who was in the city on business earlier this month. He asked not to be identified so that he wouldn't draw attention to his Minnesota clients. - umbrellainabin, on 08/22/2008, -1/+3DIGG C'MON WHY MYSPACE :O
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Zedizdead, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1Because only Fox News is biased right? You going to sit there and tell me that digg is NOT liberal or biased? Have another joint my friend.
- Itslikewhao, on 08/23/2008, -0/+0Can I buy a diggnation shirt while I'm there?
- harrycontests, on 08/25/2008, -0/+0There's a great set of DNCC (and RNCC) links on USA Media Guide. They have links to the official schedule, the official sites, the protest sites, local Denver and Twin City media coverage, where to watch them online, and links to blogs reporting from them.
