P2P app adds voter registration tool

Cory Doctorow 4:29 am Wed Sep 8, 2004

BearShare, a P2P file-sharing too, has added a voter registration mechanism to its latest client:

Now, BearShare has teamed up with YourVoteMatters.org to encourage voter registration. According to BearShare's press release, 800,000 individuals have already registered. The goal is to reach 1 million before the November 2nd elections.

"BearShare users can register by clicking on a link located on a web page only accessible to BearShare users. The link takes them out to the online voter registration site hosted by YourVoteMatters.org. In the short time this program has been live, we have seen great success which we hope will continue through the voter registration deadline."
