To the first module of the system check out the research area of social network analysis, every major telecom is doing it to their data. So are half the social informatics researchers in the states who’re aiming to figure cell structure of terrorist cells. To the second module of the system, checkout Excaliber I posted something on it around <a href="http://braz.blogspot.com/2004/10/american-democracy-privacy-concerns.html" rel="nofollow">2004</a> which Labour has been using in the UK since around 1995. A more scholarly type person may be interested in “<a href="http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/jws/jpa/2001/00000001/00000003/art00007" rel="nofollow">Think global, talk local: Getting the party political message across in the age of the Internet</a>” or “<a href="http://ejc.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/20/3/327" rel="nofollow">Election Campaigning Online- German Party Websites in the 2002 National Elections</a>” or “<a href="http://ejc.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/20/1/55" rel="nofollow">Voters in a Changing Media Environment- A Data-Based Retrospective on Consequences of Media Change in Germany</a>”. For bloggers there is a nice article on the German elections, “<a href="http://ssc.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/25/4/504" rel="nofollow">Weblog Campaigning in the German Bundestag Election 2005</a>”. These ideas aren’t new I know that FF and FG have been kicking them around for several years but of course if I said any more I’d have to kill you or charge you enough of a fee that it’d probably have the same effect. Just repeating a comment I made on IrishElection.
