We Made a Widget

Our team has been so hard at work over the last few months that we've had little time to brag about the accomplishments we've achieved for our clients.

Well, this time, we have to make the time. Introducing the Maplight Presidential fund raising widget.


The Widget is a custom flash doohickey that allows you to embed a representation of the Presidential fund raising numbers you wish to display. If you like a mix of both you can show both. If you want just the leading Democratic candidates, it allows you to choose them. If you want to change the width or swap out colors, you can totally do that too. The best news of all is that we will be distributing more soon.

The amazing Neil Drumm built the data structure, Drupal module and javascript. He teamed up with another Advodude, Aaron Winborn, who did the flash integration. They worked with Pauline Au who churned out the sharp design. Congratulations to everyone on a job well done.

April Fools Day

Today was a fun day. For those of you who missed it, we've archived all the materials from our one day stint as hard core Republicans.

Thanks for stopping by!

Drinking Liberally

One of the great orgs we actively support, sponsor, and are building a new website for, is Drinking Liberally (DL).

I personally host a DL event at the Mayan theatre in Denver every third Wednesday of the month. The NYC Advomatic team attends one of the NYC DLs every week.

Well, apparently, we made an impression in Denver. The Denver Weekly Alternative Newspaper, Westword, has put Denver DL in their annual "Best of Denver" issue.

Help Drupal

The fine folks over at Drupal.org, the Content Management System that we use to build all our client's websites, are fundraising for a new server. Without them, we really wouldn't exist, so we're matching up to $500 for every dollar that is donated to the cause.

The guys over at Civicspace are also matching up to $950. At this rate, Drupal is going to have a gigantic server farm to take over the world with. Global Domination. Good times.

Go make a donation.

Advomatic On CNN

We seems to be making a name for ourselves. We were featured on CNN's Inside Politics. Well, one of our designs appeared. Close enough, right?

Next thing you know, one of our clients might actually make a cameo on a news show. Then we can live vicariously through them!
