I think I’ve mentioned the Blandin Hot Sites article series before. They feature web sites and online tools that address a specific topic or issue. The primary purpose is to introduce rural citizens to online tools that can help them save time, save money, learn about a topic or have fun. We write them to be redistributed. (So, feel free to check it out and/or pass onto others.)

Well I think we have a particularly timely article this month – Election Resources. I’m partial to the Fact Checkers we lsited. I used them after last week’s debate and I suspect I’ll be using them tomorrow after the VP debate tonight.

Speaking of debates … I hope folks noticed that broadband was mentioned at least once in last week’s debate. I haven’t brought it before because the mention wasn’t detailed enough to merit a whole post but as I recall Obama mentioned the need for broadband in rural areas when talking about the economy.
