Welcome to Type for America

Welcome to our blog, Type for America. As part of the Internet, Law & Politics seminar at Harvard Law School, we have created this blog to argue that the Dean campaign's online strategies and tactics changed campaigning forever. The name of the blog comes from the name of Dean's campaign website (Dean for America) and blog (Blog for America). "Type" refers to what Internet users do--namely, a lot of typing.

We are carrying on a friendly rivalry with Hype for America, which argues that the predictions about the long-term impact of Dean's use of technology is a lot of hype. We want to hear your feedback too, so please feel free to comment on each post. The posts are arranged in reverse chronological order, so it will make the most sense if you start from the bottom and move up.
