Web 2.0 Becomes Political Influence 2.0 with Launch of UltiMitt.org
Monday, 2 July 2007 @ 16:52My latest project that officially launched today is forging a new path for political awareness. www.ulimitt.org is a political social networking site, produced in light of the principles of Web 2.0. It includes a comprehensive ‘News Center’ full of recent articles and discussions about the candidate, a nice forum for discussing the issues from the upcoming elections, and a ‘Leaderboard’ to encourage creation of teams and networks in an effort to stimulate teamwork and participation. Everyone who registers is encouraged to get involved somehow where they feel their talents could be utilized.
Feel free to register and see what all the buzz is about. I realize not all are of the same persuasion as me, but I hope that everyone can enjoy or appreciate grassroots efforts from people that are passionate about their country and beliefs.
Great work, Steve. I like the energy of this site. It has a definite draw to it. I believe that you have created something that causes the viewer, regardless of their position to be interested in what the group is promoting.
I hope so. Most political sites are drab, or covered in crap and advertisements. I wanted this site to look slick and modern, to promote the candidate as someone who has new ideas and could bring a ‘fresh take’ to a government in need of a major overhaul.
My theory behind the logo was to have a bold logo that can’t be missed, symbolizing power, and the ability to capture your attention.
The color of the site also was not accidental. The blue/red/white/blue scheme is also symbolic of the colors of the American flag.
If anyone is interested, feel free to register. There is no commitment, other than learning more about issues that affect us and our country.
I do find it interesting though that the predominant color is blue, especially as a backdrop to Mitt.
Well, there was a red version, but some initial comments was that the site was too red overall, and they though a red background was overpowering. All of the banners on the sub pages are primarily red.
Though I realize colors are associated with parties, I don’t think too many people will read in too much to that, and all of the accent colors are red. That banner will change to during upcoming campaigns.
Too bad Steve. Obviously you respect your clients wishes but the site would seem much more symbolic and powerful if they had listened to your original idea and carried the red through in it’s entirety. Is that the Ultimate Fighting Championship font you used for the logo? :P
Yep, like me, Mitt loves to cage fight!
all those Romney supporters in the ‘about us’ section, and no visible garment lines on any of them :)
:O
