on Mar 6th, 2007My.BarrackObama - social network for Barrack Obama’s presidential campaign

Ok, here’s one for the history books - Presidential hopeful Barrack Obama, has just launched a social networking site for his campaign 08. Its pretty strange why would somebody go through the trouble of making a social network for election purposes, but it makes sense considering the impact social networks can have on people. The concept of communities is leveraged to the utmost with almost each ethnic/cultural group of people have been listed for people keen on knowing and interacting with Obama.

People from many states, colleges, districts and minorities each have their own support group for Obama. This is a good move by Obama to gain trust in people. If not anybody, Im sure the Bay Area folks will be glad to vote for him for his sheer ingenuity in leveraging technology as a medium for campaigning. Just goes to show how much social networks will /have become a part of everything human.

This is something that I couldn’t even imagine. Such use of socionets were unheard of before this. But its a good ploy. What else could social networks be used for ??
