Legislative Outreach 101: Governor Kasich leaked his plan to cut the state’s income tax by raising taxes on oil companies to any newspaper that would print it. What he didn’t do was reach out to lawmakers who promptly responded by dumping his plan from the budget. Oops. The state capital budget is on the fast-track to passage, at least in the House.

But if there’s one thing that The Huffington Post has consistently done better than just about any other traditional or new-media entity, it is to take advantage of social media tools in order to boost its reach and engage with readers in new ways, and the site has just rolled out some new features that take that effort to a new level. In a nutshell, the new features — which have been in beta testing for the past week or two, but were officially announced on Tuesday in a blog post by Huffington Post social-media editor Rob Fishman — allow users to “fan,” “like” and “follow” individual reporters and bloggers for the site, both on the site itself and via Twitter and Facebook.

Mashable Follow: A Step Towards Community Powered News | Social Commerce News
By: Max Buxbaum With more and more content overloading Mashable’s site, they created Mashable Follow, a new “social layer” that creates a “custom tailored experience” for users. Here are four features that make this new social tool worth using. Profile Pages: Mashable Follow allows users to create a personalized account simply through a Facebook or Twitter login.
Updated: The Huffington Post — taking a cue from Foursquare, the location-based social network that allows users to win “badges” for checking in at various places — has launched a similar feature for regular readers of the news site. The beta offering includes three badges that readers can win — known as the “Networker” badge, the “Superuser” badge and the “Moderator” badge — based on the amount of activity they engage in on the news site. For example, connecting with other readers on the site will earn you a Level One “Networker” badge, and connecting your Huffington Post reader account with either your Facebook account or your Twitter account will bump you up to a Level Two Networker, and your comments on the site will be a different color from those posted by non-Level Two users.

While people debated whether Web sites like Twitter were important in organizing protests in Tunisia and Egypt, Andy Carvin was organizing information about the protests in an innovative way.
