Parties Look To Google For High-Tech Conventions

With broadcast coverage of national political conventions waning, both parties are looking to Google to jazz up their 2012 confab. As "Official Social Platform and Live Stream Provider", Google will provide a range of technology support for August's Republican National Convention in Tampa (FL) including streaming live video, GOP convention organizers said. A Google spokesperson told Tech Daily Dose the company is working on a similar partnership for the Democratic National Convention.
