The lines for the polls were loooooong this morning… but worth it!

To add to the intense buzzy-buzz of the day, we’ve teamed up with ObamaMinute to make Wiffiti the interactive centerpiece of the media FRENZY in Times Square today!

Check out our social media release, which has lots of new resources to view and share… as well as the official release.

*Also, a big shout-out to Ken and Dury and the others I met in line at the Somerville polls this morning… and both of whom sent messages to the Obama screen already!

Another app hits the big screen…

Working with the good folks over at ObamaMinute, we’ve launched Obama Wiffiti in Times Square!

This will be running 24/7 through the election, so crank up your texting to show your support! And, if that’s the way ya swing, head on over to ObamaMinute and register to be part of “An Obama Minute” on Monday, October 6th at noon. They’ve been a wonderful group to work with!

You can also embed this screen into your own blog or website and spread the love (it’s just a quick copy/paste of code at the bottom, just like you’re embedding a YouTube vid).

As you can see, Steve King, our VP Sales, is in NYC today and wasted little time making his presence known… :)

Here’s a quick Twitter screengrab I took right after the McCain announcement this morning (they were coming in hundreds per minute on my feed):

Clearly the Palin pick is off-the-charts in terms of tweet potential.

Want to put those tweets in context? Take a peek at Loca’s new PoliChat app! (pic in post below)

And if you’ll be at the RNC this weekend, make sure to look for Wiffiti at the Outburst Forum!

You’ll pull up tweet after tweet after tweet…
About Sarah Palin.
(Hey, figured I’d put a Mahalo link in there to kowtow to Jason Calacanis while I’m at it.)

This sure makes things iiiinteresting…

Shoot your Wiffiti thoughts to our new PoliChat app here in the office! Just click on the link to pull up the screen in your browser and participate remotely.

It’s live on the loca site as well!

Now that Joe Biden has starred in the text message heard ’round America, the DNC can now officially get underway.

LocaModa is excited to be involved! This coming Sunday, August 24th, we’ll be partnering with the Outburst Tour, the Institute for Politics, Democracy, and the Internet, and the University of Denver at a series of forums throughout the day.
