Internet tools to shake up a broken political system

The internet is democratizing one industry after another, why can't it democratize the greatest democracy of all?

That's why I started 3dna after the 2008 election, and began exploring how I could shake up politics with web tools. I've been experimenting with different ideas and concepts to see what works -- White House 2, NationBuilder, GovLuv, act.ly and Tweet Progress. I've learned so much, and am excited to have Jesse Haff joining up with me to take it to the next level.

We worked together for years at Brave New Films, he is an amazing designer, and is why act.ly looks so hot, and why 3dna now has a beautiful logo and website.

So what does 3dna mean? It represents the 3 different DNAs in my body after a bone marrow transplant and double lung transplant. It also represents the core values of the internet - giving and sharing - and the more connected we are to each other, the stronger we all become.

We're deep in stealth development mode right now working on NationBuilder, which is going to blow your mind.

When the opportunity to work with Jim came about, I didn't hesitate for a second. Our combined efforts have repeatedly proved to be a potent combination in the past.

Devising the next big idea with Jim is addictive and exciting. I'm thrilled to be hard at work today designing the tools that will change the rules tomorrow.
