Hi Jake.
I've found your blogs thanks to Forrester's Groundswell blog.

I like your field of work. Actually I started blogging about it. But there is something I feel about your site that would like to tell you.

After spending 4 minutes browsing the site, the message that stayed with me is that you are desperately looking for a job. "Pitch Me, Hire Me, Hire Jacke, Where do I submit my resume??".

All in one page.

Wouldn't it be better to just show how great and interesting you are and add a Contact Form, instead of begging for a job?

Anyway, I just added your RSS FEED to my Netvibes.

Keep the good work.

Jake, it's good to see that you're staying out of trouble! This would be an awesome job...I'll lend my support. Where do we sign up to volunteer to help you! It would be such a waste to have engendered all this enthusiasm and trust and not to carry it forward. The groundbreaking work is yet to be done!

You've got my vote. Just think of the possibilities for this community and the President elect. My bet is that this will be real and you will get the job.

That's an amazing idea. I'd like to submit my resume as well!

I agree. How awesome would that be. I'm happy for now to see we're on the right track. Obama just launched http://change.gov

I'm all about how the internet can empower communities for change, so I hate to call you out on this but: "a community of committed Americans to discuss the solutions..." already exists. It's called Congress.

Why create another group to make bad decisions for us? I used to love Digg.com. But now it seems like its nothing but teenage boys yelling at each other. My view is no longer represented. I feel the same way about my goverment.

I think Congress could learn a lot of lessons and get a lot out of opening up to more efficient means of communication and input (i.e. the Internet). But creating another group isn't the way - and neighther is direct democracy (the Founding Fathers wisely understand that the more people making decisions doesn't make a smarter group, it makes a mob).

At first, I wanted to wrastle you for the position, but you being a family man (and my checkered past) means you would be a much better public figure. May I be the first to endorse you for the position.

And have you seen http://www.usa.gov? I didn't realize this was here. Take a look. Some of it is promising and some if it is odd.

Also on the note that America is facing the biggest financial crisis in history with so little reserve at hand, it's time to create a repository for the world's citizen to chime in a few quids (or bucks depends on where you're from :D) to help restore peace and faith in the world. pledgebank.com anyone?

Global crisis calls for a global solution. Hope you do get through the whitehouse and kick some a**! Again, congratulations on America's turning blue. :)
