Mayoral Candidate with WIBW & Transform Topeka

**Brandon Sheley** · 02-05-2009, 06:57 PM

Our group (Transform Topeka) has ran 2 potlucks and at our last one a cool guy (Jim Ogle)from our CBS TV station here in Topeka (WIBW) started talking to us about doing the next one at the station. So time has past and we now have a debate & potluck setup with the future candidates running for mayor in just under 2 weeks

Mayoral Candidate Forum ? 2/18

We got our blog post out, facebook group invites and I've started twittering about it. I've seen a number of ppl retweet (RT) the post and since I'm using cli.gs I can track the clicks.

I'll be talking about this for the next 2 weeks on twitter.I added our hash tag #tttu (T-Town TweetUp) and it will be added through out the week, people here know to search for that tag for tweetups. :

Oh, and they are going to stream it live on the wibw website, I'm going to talk to one of their guys right now and see if I can get the code to run on Transform Topeka as well.

Don't overlook your social sites, and for you guys with local sites (eg TalkDel) check out twitter. If Topeka KANSAS can have twitter communities, anybody can..

Here is the Transform Topeka twitter feed & mine

Wow, great stuff Brandon! Congrats!

Great work on utilizing the social sites to continually get the word out. Facebook has been VERY good for me and has me on a record pace of new member registrations for this month
