UTPL

My New Favorite UTPL Site

Every once in a while a legislator comes along that lets us experiment on them. Representatives Nathan Ballentine was one of them, letting us experiment with very cool video blogs. Now comes Representative Dan Hamilton who agrees with me that micro-blogs are the future.

Check out this video:

Did he just say RSS feed? You dang right he did. And No, I didn’t tell him to say that. I don’t think it’s a big leap to say that Representative Hamilton is the only member of the entire General Assembly who actually knows what an RSS feed is. Okay, maybe Senator Kevin Bryant does to, but like me, Representative Hamilton is a full fledge geek. The guy reads Wired and knows who Chris Brogan is. He carries an iPhone and twitters all day. You can’t help but love this guy.

Micro-blogging is the future…until another “the future” comes along. Blogs are exploding and content is getting crazy. People just don’t have the time read long blog posts anymore. They want us to get straight to the point. That’s why Twitter is rocking the world right now.

Representative Dan Hamilton’s website at www.hamiltonforsc.com isn’t a site that will be updated once a month, once a week, or even once a day. Count on Representative Hamilton to keep it fresh all day, especially when he’s in session. Add this site to your daily must-reads.

As for all the sites Under The Power Lines has built, this one is my favorite.

Gresham Barrett for Governor

Congressman Gresham Barrett has been an UTPL client for a few years now and we were proud to stand with him in his last re-election bid for the United States Congress. During that time we realized that his leadership is exactly what we need to move South Carolina’s economy forward.

We stand with Congressman Barrett in his campaign for South Carolina Governor as his lead Internet development and strategy firm.
