Conversation requires a reply
Remember when we were all so impressed by the campaigns who had websites and used words like 'conversation' and used familiar tools like YouTube and Twitter?
Well a conversation requires two way communication guys. I emailed the Barack Obama campaign about something and I have received no reply. Not only that - I started getting spammed email from their mailing list. I never asked to be subscribed to their mailing list?
I have heard the same happen to others.
Is this a conversation or yet another cynical way to appeal to a constituency without really trying?
A conversation requires two parties - one listens, one replies, then they swap.
Are you guys paying attention?

I received a few email replies from them (much earlier in their campaign), and the last one I had was quite slow in response time, which they apologised for. They are receiving a massive volume of email from people not only in the US, but around the world, who all want to speak to Obama and his staff. He does have Flickr photos, a podcast, blogs and the newsletters.
