Behold the Internet, Congregator of Information and Data

The latest and greates example of the Internet's ability to gather together and preserve interesting items and data in a truly useful and accessible way is surely The Living Room Candidate project from the Museum of the Moving Image.

The site has all of the Presidential television ads going back to 1952 when short ads for Ike first ran during I Love Lucy programs. The Living Room Candidate also has the newest ads from the current campaign and is frequently updated to stay current.

The site is easy to navigate (ads sorted by year, type and issue) and packed with information, trust me you'll be able to get lost in there.

This message sound familiar?



I have not yet explored The Museum of the Moving Image's site but it might well be worth a look as well.
