Another Free Google Tool To Compliment Your Online Campaign Strategy
Google released a new tool today to help voters scour
through the thousands of hours of political footage on YouTube. The feature is called the Elections Video
Search. A user can type in a phrase and
then see what candidates across the nation have said about that specific
issue.
The screen shot below shows the results returned for a
search on "nuclear energy." When you
play an individual video, yellow marks on the timeline delineate where the
topic is mentioned in the speech. By
mousing over one of those marks, you can read the direct quote.
It's a pretty neat technology and will be really helpful to
voters wanting to learn where candidates stand on specific issues. Currently, it seems that the tool is aimed
mainly at the Presidential candidates - it actually allows you to filter the
results to show just McCain or Obama quotes.
This is just another example of a free tool to help support
your online campaign strategy. Looking
forward to watching how it continues to develop, scale, and be used.
