WHO YA GOT???
Newspapers are tripping over themselves these days to be as interactive as possible. Reader polls. Live chats with editors. Comment boxes. Sometimes all three in the same graphic.
The New York Times seems to be taking a page from ESPN.com with its latest interactive idea. Titled "If You Were President ..." the feature asks readers to make their selection for President-elect Barack Obama's cabinet by choosing who they would like to see as members of his new administration. Readers do so by using a dropdown bar that gives popular names -- or they can enter their own pick -- along with logos of the office.
College football fans have long gone through the same exercise to select who they think is deserving of a Top 25 ranking. Sports fans in general are used to selecting their dream teams through fantasy sports. Who's to say politicos won't enjoy the same type of game.
C'mon, tell me you wouldn't drool over drafting a Colin Powell, Al Gore, Janet Napolitano, Tim Kaine, Warren Buffett starting lineup. Unstoppable.
