The Blogger Voter List
Politics, Technology July 25th, 2003 |Mike Walsh, who inspired this recent post of mine, is starting to track the Blogger Voter List. He’s looking to keep a list of bloggers who, in essence, put their money where their mouth is, and vote as well as rant.
Remember, you can blog all you want about politicians and political issues but if you don’t vote, it doesn’t matter. And politicians only listen to registered voters. So register to vote, if you haven’t already, and then register on “The Blogger Voter List” so politicians and the people who manage political campaigns realize that bloggers (and people who read blogs) are a new force to be reckoned with.
He’s also looking for somone with LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) experience to assist in coding a site to track this, so it doesn’t have to remain an updated-by-hand listing. I wish my knowledge were up to par, but unfortunately, that’s just not the case. Anyone else feel like stepping up to the plate?

Michael, feel free to point him my way - as long as his P is PHP or Python, I’m good to go and am more than willing to pitch in for this cause.

Michael, I am a decent PHP/mySql hack and could possibly help Phil out, even if just for usability testing and bug hunting
