Nick Clegg on the Web
My successor in Sheffield Hallam, Nick Clegg MP, has been building his web presence recently with the launch of his WordPress site nickclegg.com.
He is now looking for a web officer to build this up in the run-up to the next general election.
Everyone is naturally going to be talking about the Obama online campaign over coming months, especially if he wins, as it has been both impressive and apparently effective (at least in terms of fund-raising).
The modest challenge for this post is to have a similar impact with virtually no resources and starting from a third party position – now who could resist that?
