Some of it is the same cynical political machine just using new techniques to do the same old stuff, but some of the most interesting stuff is relatively spontaneous and led by the public themselves.
Here are a few interesting things other people have spotted online:
1. The Twitter Vote Report:
Real people reporting in real time. Very interesting rolling news cycle activity by real voters in real time.

It's clearly popular because its gone down about 15 times in the last hour.
2. We Just Live Here
Asks how the US vote would be effected if resident non-voting aliens in the US had their vote counted

3. Coldcut – cutup Election Vivisection video
Nice video here, quite powerful and very skewed to one side but hey got to love the techniques and passion involved to create it.
Dancefloor hooligans Coldcut join forces with America's leading audio-visual vigilante TV Sheriff to bring you an election vivisection Revolution '08.
4. CNNBC Combats Voter Apathy with Personalised Email-Video Genius
It's not a new concept but this is one of the best personalised video emails I have seen and it's very well executed (sent to my friend Rick Kiesewetter).
Dear Rick,
Your friend Patrick sent you the following video from CNNBC: "Obama's Loss Traced To Rick Kiesewetter"
Sometimes in previous examples of this technique the perosnalisation seems contrived and a bit obvious but this is very well done - and it's for a great cause.
5. Wassup - new edition
Its been eight long years since the boys said wassup to each other. Even with the effects of a down economy and imminent change in the White House, the boys are still able to come together and stay true to what really matters.
It's definitely the most sophisticated election campaign to date.
