I was alerted to this blog-post in the morning, saying that Brian Paddick had hired Jerome Armstrong to head up his intenet strategy. Now this is very interesting to a political/technology geek such as yours truly because:
- Armstrong runs MyDD, one of the most influential Democrat blogs;
- He co-wrote the book Crashing the Gate along with Markos of Daily Kos - the book on forging a new progressive alliance in the US;
- He advised Howard Dean for his 2004 presidential race, using the web to great effect.
Now, Mark Pack has confirmed it.

Potentially very exciting as long as

a) Jerome is genuinely going to put the time in
b) He gets the freedom to give some control to the ‘people’
