Not on IA topic, but interesting.

Hi, everyone. Long time no blog. Thought I'd share.
My book review was on cyberactivism and how the internet can be used as a tool for political action. It seems that politicians are paying attention to that message. I ran across this article and thought people would be interested to know that Myspace has gone political. It seems the candidates are using this networking resource to get the word out, organize, and plead for support. And we all thought Myspace was just for fun.

Sorry...I'm using Safari web browser and it won't let me hyperlink the URL...even with keyboard shortcuts. So here's the full address: http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,129987-c,currentevents/article.html

On the news today they've been covering the story on YouTube that has Hillary Clinton as Big Brother and Obama as the athlete in a take off of an old commercial. They're not sure who posted it so it could be from a Democrat or Republican. It will be interesting to see how many more of this type of thing will happen, it could affect the camopaigns.
