This story has some important aspects to it, even though it is nothing resembling an in-depth report. But it can serve to start a discussion regarding the current use and potential of the Internet and candidates' web sites in particular.
The article is pretty balanced, since it's really web-designers' views that are highlighted - very critical. But the fact is, John Kerry has used his web site to gain a record amount of Internet donations flowing to his campaign. Since that's a high volume cash register he has there, I'd say he's using the web successfully at this point.
