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.
