Whiskey Media

Whiskey Media develops topical websites that are equal parts editorial and community. To date, they have built sites about video games, comic books and politics. The company builds sites that are “Whiskey Powered”, which refers to the proprietary publishing layer they have built on top of the python-based Django framework. Their sites borrow heavily from features in Facebook and Wikipedia to create their community-driven content data.

Whiskey Media was founded in part by CNet Networks Co-founder Shelby Bonnie. The rest of the team is made up of CNET veterans, and Jacob Kaplan-Moss, President of the Django Foundation.

This site can be a great tool to help people push some ethical and moral values back into politics, by voting better. I wish they would make their technology available to NGO's wanting to replicate their services in other countries.

This is truly one of the most polished and impressive out-of-the-gate startups I've ever seen. I predict HUGE things for politicalbase, going far beyond the 2008 election.
