If you've had any problems accessing techPresident.com or Personal Democracy Forum today, our apologies: our servers were hit with a series of technical problems that briefly brought our sites down and are continuing to make them act a bit funky. Bear with us; things should be back to normal by the end of the day.

We've made some changes to our charts, to take into account the consolidation of the field in the major party primaries, and the appearance of some national names among the third party field. We're still keeping an eye on how all the present and former candidates are being talked about in the blogosphere, and we've starting tracking how an array of potential Vice Presidential contenders are popping up. Here are the details.

As you may have noticed, we've made some spiffy design improvements to techPresident, all in the name of easily findable and navigable charts.

From the annals of self-promotion: On a lark we checked out PC Magazine's Top 100 Undiscovered Web Sites to see if techPresident made the undiscovered grade.

Well... we did!  What a pleasant surprise.  We're in the company of fine sites like PrezVid, Kiva, Meebo, Mashable, and TechMeme.
