I know it's not top 10, but I still think it is worth mentioning. His site is very well constructed and he embraced many of the concepts in this list. I especially like the way he raised money using a micro approach. I thought that this site was a great use of web technologies – http://seantevis.com/ He didn’t win, but he made a pretty good run.

What he did was give the election to the people. He would have lost sorely if he couldn't have raised the money. And that would have been their decision as well. It also marks a milestone for the electorate. That this nation would vote for our President Elect over a decorated war veteran. We have not seen anything like this in our history as a nation. It is not about the candidates. It is about us and what we want and have to say. http://active-intellect.com/2008/12/28/thoughtful-electorate/ I agree that Obama’s ability to raise so much online from so many people is a milestone.
