Um deles é uma ferramenta interativa produzida pelo New York Times: uma "nuvem de palavras" que convida o internauta a descrever seu humor em um adjetivo e exibe os termos mais freqüentes entre os usuários.

A vitória da internet

"Com a internet foi possível antecipar a vitória de Obama. Mas a internet não é apenas instrumento da cobertura eleitoral. Foi também o principal veículo de campanha – e seu uso inteligente talvez um dos segredos da vitória de Barack Obama."

Luciano Martins Costa, no texto "A vitória da internet"

O voto americano visto do Brasil

"Ficar em casa, aliás, é modo de dizer: dia de eleição é dia de trabalho – razão por que este ano milhões de americanos, muitos deles presumivelmente eleitores de Obama, enfrentaram horas de fila no domingo nos lugares que permitem o voto antecipado. O Estado de S.Paulo da segunda-feira trouxe uma boa matéria a respeito, descrevendo a situação numa seção eleitoral de Palm Beach, na Flórida."

Luis Weis, no texto "O voto americano visto do Brasil"

Kenya: Covering the election of Barack Obama

"The Daily Nation felt it was important to tell the story of Obama's campaign and victory from a Kenyan perspective, for example, the video footage section on the web edition not only includes Obama's speeches and footage of American reactions, there is also extensive coverage of the celebrations in Kenya following the result and reactions from Kenyan politicians. The small village of Kogelo in Western Kenya was at the heart of the Daily Nation's coverage and the site features interviews with Obama's grandmother and other members of his family who have had to rapidly get used to the media spotlight."

So was it the 'Blogs Wot Won It' for Barack?

"This was the year for multimedia to really come into its own. The public outside the electoral college had a chance to participate from afar. Many bloggers might not have had a vote, but they could be influential: by spreading round a Sarah Palin debate flow-chart, casting a vote on a remote voting map, or putting a supporting button onto their sites (the online version of the rosette)."

The Media-Go-Round Stops - The election is over. What happens to the political press?

"The most intriguing future rests with the new Internet upstarts. Many new sites have emerged from this election, but the Huffington Post and Politico have particularly secured their positions among the digi-elite. According to Compete.com, a Web-visit-tracking site, Huffington is topping 5 million unique visitors a month, and Politico is topping 3 million. But almost all of that traffic is still a result of the horse race, and that bubble will soon pop. After the 2004 race, then-emerging political force Wonkette reportedly lost 40 percent of its audience."

What can news publishers learn from the Obama campaign?

"Here's my suggestion, whether you work at a newspaper or a hyperlocal start-up: Read Exley' story. Then find a few local Obama campaign leaders and take 'em out for coffee or lunch. Tell them what you are doing and ask about how they built their connections within the community. Learn how you can build a passionate loyal following among new (and newly energized) voters, as well as among local businesses."
