I'm not voting for Dodd, but...

Dodd had the only blog which actually produced useful content. Some of this, of course, sprang out of Dodd doing big things on the Senate floor. But the debates were competently handled as well. His blog team's Talk Clock was the single most useful thing produced by any campaign blog, and they even did it for the Republicans as well.

I would argue in favor of Dodd on the online video side, too. I'm not sure what you used to judge, but I hardly even noticed Romney's and Obama's videos. I looked at Romney TV a little and it was mostly prepackaged marketing stuff nobody would want to sit through. In contrast, Dodd had excellent live streams of his stump speeches which were cross-promoted on Daily Kos, as well as an open chatroom which was frequently neat to drop by. Dodd's videos were both competently marketed and superb in terms of usefulness to voters.

In terms of mobile technology, I think Kucinich deserves a mention, because he hyped his text messaging service like a used car salesman at the debates.
