After a three-week period that saw the launch of Bob Hertzberg's multimedia extravaganza and Bernard Parks' blink-tagged train wreck, none of the mayoral candidates has done much of anything in the way of building a presence for voters who get their election info from the Web.
Here's the weekly (though I'm questioning the wisdom of this timing and may retreat to bi-weekly) rundown of the web-savvy, the quick and the (so-far) dead:

Richard Alarcon - no campaign site.
Mayor James K. Hahn - His 3-year-old leftovers still pop up first in Google, ahead, even of his City Hall home page. Eight months out might be a bit early to build a brand-new site, but certainly not to eliminate or at least edit a legacy site that makes it look as though the incumbent's proud only of things he did three years ago.
Bob Hertzberg - a new Hertz-Blog item criticizes the city for holding only one of the two dozen public forums on the LAPD beating of Stanley Miller in the Valley. f one of the points of the dialogue was to discuss whether police reform was working, then why weren’t more people in the Valley being asked for their opinion?
What do you think? No matter where in Los Angeles you live, if a forum was held closer to your house, would you have attended? he asks. No answers yet in the comments field of the item, which is dated July 10.
Walter Moore - He touts his appearance on the Terry Anderson Show on KRLA Sunday night: "The topic is illegal immigration," a phenomenon to which Moore has been strongly opposed. Meanwhile, Moore has increased his potential points of contact by encouraging Angelenos to endorse him by email and cc five friends, <a href="mailto:Moore@Mayor4U.com?subject=I%20want%20Moore%20to%20come%20talk%20to%20my%20group.>invite him to talk to your group and get a Moore bumper sticker.
Bernard Parks: Plenty of static content, empty links, "under construction" labels and unfulfilled promises plus a "Newletter" (I love that word) containing an empty link to Park's putative LAX plan and an empty list of endorsements. The BLINK tag, however, seems to have been eliminated from a few key pages, so the staff list is now legible.
Antonio Villaraigosa: Still unannounced, still vulnerable to identity theft. These domains - and untold political mischief - can be had for a song: Note: Villaraigosa.com is now recorded as taken, by one Ulisses Sanchez, of New Jersey Street, Los Angeles. Oddly, the two-year-old registration record, due to expire 11/04, did not show up in NetSol upon previous searches.
A Ulisses Sanchez is listed as webmaster for the Mexican American Political Association and has served as a Villaraigosa spokesman in the past.
