Hi, I'm the Creative Director at Causes after Votizen was acquired in 2013. I created elegant.ly, was the lead designer for Mint, and Designer-in-Residence for Bessemer. This is my tumblr on brands, interaction design, and user experience, with a splash of politics.

Probably takes the, “your friend just joined [social network here]” emails a little bit too far. I wonder if anyone has sent a welcome payment yet.

Anthea Watson Strong: Political Innovation vs. Civic Innovation - Let's Not Hate on the Campaigns 

Agreed. At Votizen we worked on both sides, with a common principle: authenticity, and working with friends. For example, a friend who wants to fight SOPA can locate friends who are represented by the officials deciding on the issue, and start a conversation, hopefully resulting in calls or letters to Congress from a real constituent. In terms of elections, we believed in the same principle of finding friends, and turning them out to vote. We believe fundamentally in the power of bottom-up movements, not top-down advertising. I wish that the Political Innovation Summit featured more discussions of solving problems in a bottom-up way, and building consensus around ideas and a platform, as opposed to optimizing top-down advertising spending.

Nice annual report from First Round capital.

Three different fonts but they share something in common, which makes this work. #typography
