That is pretty commendable if you're putting your campaign money where your mouse is and actually making it a part of your offline comms too. Hope it works for you - I'll go sign up now! Don't worry - wasn't suggesting that Alan would go astroturfing, but I guess you're letting him know of any coverage/comment on the major blogs, so he'd be checking anyway. ;) Hi Stuart - and thanks for putting me straight there!

Therefore MyBlogLog isn't really suitable as everything we do needs to be open, transparent and honest. You don't need to know what Twitter is to benefit from it. Alan's campaign leaflet has instructions on how to sign up from your mobile without ever going near the web. This is why I think it is more inclusive as lots of the 40% who don't use the internet will see the leaflet and have a choice to join in.
