Time will tell, I suppose. Cheers t Duncan and Todd,

In fact, the exact social networking tool on the Obama site has been on the DNC site for over a year. The other interesting thing about Obama to me is the huge, spontaneous grassroots support he's already got Facebook and MySpace. One Facebook group has 250,000 members and another student lead one has 60,000. People are enthusiastic about this guy. Duncan is right that this is night new.

There were support blogs/ pages available in the 2004 elections, and at least as far back as 96 I can recall candidates offering things like buttons for their sites etc...indeed, I still have my autographed copy of Steve Forbes book from the 2000 US campaign...all for getting I think it was half a dozen people to sign up on his site (I still think Forbes would have made a great president, love the idea of flat tax :-) ). The only thing really new with Obama is that the tools available today are a lot easier to use and roll out than they were in previous elections. It should be noted that this is far from new.
