There’s An App for That: We’ve Unveiled Mobile Applications
We’ve unveiled new mobile web applications designed to help individuals stay up to date and engaged with the campaign. These new web apps allow supporters to stay up to date with campaign news, learn about the issues, send feedback to the campaign, and even sign up their friends. They work with nearly all mobile devices—including iPhones, blackberries and other similar devices. As more features are added, they will be an essential tool in helping grassroots supporters organize events. The web applications also integrate other social media services like Twitter and Facebook which the campaign has used to keep supporters updated.
“Robin’s record of standing up to big corporations and special interests has people excited to be involved in her campaign,” said campaign spokesperson, Linden Zakula. “With more people on the go, they want to be able to easily connect with Robin’s campaign, and this will be another way to do that.”
The web applications are just one more way the Robin Carnahan campaign is engaging supporters early. Earlier this month, 400 grassroots supporters organized 35 separate events to talk with friends and neighbors about how they can help Robin Carnahan fight against Washington corporate special interests and be an independent voice for Missouri families in the U.S. Senate. Carnahan’s campaign also has a text messaging program where folks can get updates from the campaign on their cell phones by texting JOIN to 76246 (ROBIN).
Here are the technical details about the web applications:
RobinCarnahan.com now provides optimized versions of the website for various mobile platforms. A version for Apple’s iPhone is provided that will also work quite well on Palm’s WebOS browser and Google Android’s browser. A version for RIM’s BlackBerry is also provided. A text-based version of the website for older phones is the final mobile-optimized version of the site available.
If your mobile phone’s browser does not automatically redirect you to the proper version of the site, the following URLs will work:
- version for iPhone: http://robincarnahan.com/i/
- version for BlackBerry: http://robincarnahan.com/bb/
- version for all other mobile browsers: http://robincarnahan.com/m/
