Gov 2.0 and Salsa

By David Wolpe, BrightText CEO, who will be leading a Salsa Market Webinar on Effective Action forms on Tuesday, April 19. RSVP here

Marlon Brando, it is said, agreed to play the lead role in "The Godfather" only after he saw that the godfather stood in for corporate America. This was in the 70's -- a time in which, in comparison to now, corporate influence was still in diapers. They can now  buy whatever they like in our political system, from endless TV ads, to the politicians and judges themselves -- just like the Godfather did.

In times like these, the voice of a single citizen seems to shrink. And yet it is the engaged citizen, not the corporate consumer (and certainly not the corporation) who we need to stand up now more than ever.

So how do we increase civic engagement?

We’re all in it together when it comes to spam

Hi, I figured as my first post, it might be best to introduce myself and give a bit of my background and then talk about what really goes into email deliverability.  My name’s Brett and for the last 8 months I’ve been focused on email deliverability for Salsa Labs.  I get to wear the white hat and do everything in my power to make sure there’s no roadblocks for you the email sender, but also at times I have to don the black hat and lecture an organization about their email habits.

I know a thing about email having worked on numerous campaigns and as an online consultant for a few years.  And, I have a confession.  I was once one of the trouble makers.  I’m in the advantageous position of having been on the other side of the equation, abusing email service providers and doing everything I could to get results.  That meant not caring about the impact to my technology provider, and yes, that also meant using bought, borrowed and "found" lists.  I know all the tricks in the book, and what to look for, because I’ve done it.  That also allows me to speak as to what works, what doesn't and the good and bad about it all.

How to Add a Salsa Signup Form to Your Facebook Page

Facebook Pages just got a whole lot friendlier! A while back, Facebook took the major step of forcing every non-user profile into their Pages format. It’s a great standardization, but there’s been one major hurdle to adding custom content to your page – needing to know their in-house markup language, FBML. No more! With the introduction of custom page content via iFrames, it couldn’t be easier to customize your tabs, and, in fact, Facebook is soon officially deprecating FBML.

So, you want to take a Salsa signup form and add it as a tab to your Facebook page? No problem. It’s now easier than ever.
