The Dodd Campaign Launched ChrisDodd.com with this press release.
WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Chris Dodd’s campaign announced the launch of their new website, ChrisDodd.com.
The website, home to large amounts of information on Senator Dodd and his agenda, has some interactive features, with more to be announced over the next few weeks. Of particular note is the Dodd Corps, a way for people to organize over the internet and share ideas about how to better our nation.
"The internet is revolutionizing the American political process and we need to embrace it as a vehicle for promoting democracy. Websites and blogs are a great and important way for people across the country to come together, participate in the process and have their voices and opinions heard," said Dodd. "With the help of the internet, we are able to bring together a variety of committed Americans from all over the country who want to make real change in the future of this country.”
Another key feature of the website is the "DoddPod" which allows visitors to send songs, podcasts and their own personal audio message for possible placement on Senator Dodd's iPod. The chrisdodd.com website allows for personal messages up to 10 megabyte in size (or approximately 10 minutes) to be uploaded.
"I use my iPod when I travel and I’m excited about the possibility of listening to what Americans have to say directly to me through their personal messages, their podcasts suggestions or music they listen to,” said Dodd.
Currently, ChrisDodd.com contains the following items:
• The DoddPod
• The Dodd Corps
• Ten Actions You Can Take Now
• Senator Dodd on the Issues
• Support Chris Dodd
• Senator Dodd’s biography
• A media section, including news clips, press releases and a press kit
• Hi-Res images of Senator Dodd
The website will continue to unveil new features in the weeks ahead, including Senator Dodd’s blog, integration with the photo sharing site Flickr.com, web-based videos and more.
