Another Presidential Candidate Web 2.0 Whoopsie

In scouring today's news I read Wendy Davis from Media Post's blog regarding presidential hopeful Barack Obama and the recent snafu surrounding his Myspace page.
















Here's the article - thanks Wendy:

In case you don't want to read it, or don't have time, here's the cliffs notes: Guy supports Obama. Guy makes a Myspace page devoted to Obama. Obama loves it. Obama page gets lots of hits and friends and has great support. Guy spends too much of his time on the site, keeping up with supporters. Guy wants a bit of compensation for his effort. Obama takes over the site. Guy is ticked. Guy gets no money.
It's a great read, and yet another great example of why it pays to be in touch, even if you're America's next president. Shouldn't one of his staffers have started this page the minute he started on the campaign trail instead of a friend of Obama's?
