Farewell to the DoddPod

I know the last entry was supposed to be end of this year's campaign blog but the news overnight that Chris Dodd has pulled out of the race to win the Democratic nomination for US President merits a special exemption.

Last year I was writing an article on how US election candidates were using the internet to promote their campaigns when I was drawn to the Doddpod, a concept Dodd had where visitors to his site could recommend songs for him to listen to on his iPod when on the campaign trail.

While I honestly can't say I know much about the man's policies, it is no secret that the DoddPod was the direct inspiration for our efforts to get you guys to recommend songs for me to listen to on my iPod whilst I was doing the marathon. So in tribute to that I've posted the video for one of the songs that was recommended for the DoddPod above.
