Amy Broyles right idea wrong time

Amy mentioned that public forum should be at start of meeting. I disagree. People work and have school children they have to pick up at 2pm. Why not 6pm?

why knox media is unprofessional

Come on, the two biggest stories of the night and the media blew it.
The biggest story is how the conflict of interest rules from the charter might effect voting.
Example one commissioner has a wife that works for health dept. Can he vote on budget or is it a Conflict of interest?

The other was watching Lumpy apologize....

Oh, and how unprofessional is it to be a media member wearing flip flops to a meeting? Then taking your flip flops off while relaxing stretched out with your back on wall as your on stage...

Coincidence or selling stories?

Just visited knoxnews.com and noticed that Edfinancial is now an advertiser of their site.
http://www.edamerica.net/default.aspx?cid=3017
that is the banner link
Late last month the metal shed started blasting Obama's student loan plan...

http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/mar/29/americas-students-families-deserve-choice/

Now, was this a coincidence? Hmmmm...

More info on BIll Haslam's campaign

So I get a mass email today from Haslam with grammar errors and that got me thinking...Is his website being outsourced to a foreign country? Truthfully, I dunno. So what started as a google search, revealed alot about who Haslam has running his computer campaign!

***So we see who is running the campaign it appears via the email header!

From: Bill Haslam for Governor
Date: Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Subject: Thanks for Signing Up
To: political leverage


***Ok, we see a company called emotivellc.com is doing the computer work!

So we go to

http://www.linkedin.com/companies/emotive-llc

and we see that according to their profile they only have 9 employees!!

So I dig a little deeper...

I don't think they are the brightest, cause it appears one of their employees gave out the preverbial 'online playbook.'

74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:DTp2rfOJW84J:emotivelabs.com/files/20080722-emotive-leadershipinstitute.ppt+"emotive+llc"&cd=41&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us


Good stuff. You can see that even though it is dated 2007. Don't worry we got newer stuff... legal access to their online lab! See bellow!!! It appears Haslam's team is following there advice. Here is a short snippet

"Professional video is nice, but our great successes have come with amateur video
Content and narrator is more important than production values
Keep video to 90 seconds or less
Be sure your landing page captures some information
Embed secure video in a contribution or advocacy form to increase conversion and donations"

For more on their possible playbook, just go to their lab. That is right! About 10 pages into google I found this gem!

emotivelabs.com/

here you get a ton of research in basically what they are probably telling Haslam for a ton of money...



Speaking of playbook, it appears they registered http://myhaslam.com

I wonder why?


***This is where it gets good

www.getafreelancer.com/users/555931.html

www.odesk.com/jobs/Vice-President_~~8a067c68a1620df7?tot=12&pos=8

It appears E-motive does offer out of country freelancing! Who they hire and what they do I do not know.

However, with today's 'text massage' (spelling should have said text message.)

It got me wondering. Is this company outsourcing Haslam's website?
