CLINTON GROUP POST ---Clinton campaign embraces new 'Genius' technology

http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/14/politics/hillary-clinton-technology-genius/

On Sunday, the campaign will announce that it will allow people to annotate and leave comments on the speech Clinton delivered to kick off her run for office at a rally in New York City on Saturday.

The tool will be powered by a platform called Genius, which was originally created in 2009 under the name Rap Genius as a way to let hip-hop fans comment and interpret rap lyrics online.

Last year the company changed its name to Genius as a way to expand beyond music lyrics and allow users to comment on news, books and other digital content.

Clinton campaign officials say they will promote the tool using social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook and will encourage supporters to contribute "reactions, comments and questions directly in response to Hillary's remarks from campaign events."

This is a good way to interact with the voters too. Her staff can look at the comments and decide what areas she needs to focus on and which areas are not that important to the voting public.
