Republican Mark Neumann announced his campaign for Governor last week and launched his new website over the weekend at http://markforgov.com/
One interesting thing about the site is that the Neumann campaign used a local web firm to design and develop it, in contrast to his opponent Scott Walker who used an Ohio based firm to design and develop his website. Walker caught some heat last month for shipping the work for the website out of state while using the site to criticize Gov. Doyle for shipping jobs out of Wisconsin.
Neumann’s site was registered by a company called “c 21 Interactive“, who oddly enough don’t appear to have developed their own website yet, based in Waukesha. c21 Interactive also appears to share a mailing address with another marketing firm, Avicom, who also does website work, so it’s hard to tell who actually did the web site for Neumann. Either way, all signs point to Neumann wisely picking a local web firm to develop his site and avoiding the questions Walker was faced with after shipping his web site work off to Ohio.
Neumann also has created a Twitter account at http://twitter.com/StrongWisconsin. In what’s becoming something of a theme however, he’s using it in a slightly different way than his competition, Scott Walker. Walker uses Twitter more as a way to broadcast tool, mostly ignoring the “two way conversation” aspect of it. Neumann on the other hand appears to be using it to reach out and converse with other Twitter users, even answering questions by Twitter users. It’s a much more appropriate and beneficial use of the technology in my opinion, but in a larger sense, it’s just a continuation of Neumann continuing to contrast himself and Walker, which for his campaign makes sense.
I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention Appleton businessman Mark Todd! He’s also running for Governor as a Republican, despite being constantly overlooked and ignored by the traditional media.
