Council Candidates On The Web, Facebook, Twitter, And More

AldermanicWebsites.com is a new hub tracking the web-based battle for Chicago's City Council. Courtesy of internet developer and writer Dan X. O'Neil, the site offers an easy way to comb through the online output of hundreds of candidates who submitted nominating petitions to run for one of Chicago's 50 council seats. You'll find links to the candidates' websites, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, and what O'Neill calls "other Web referencia." There are reviews and discussions of their digital production too -- check out O'Neil's thoughts on the star imagery on the prospective council member pages -- and a link to a set of photographs of the front page of each aldermanic candidate's site. Browsing through those front pages is a useful way to learn how council candidates are defining the issues their communities face, where they think incumbent council members have fallen short, and why voters should trust them to do a better job.
