Jerome Armstrong from MyDD had a good take on this (http://www.mydd.com/story/2007/5/3/162736/1827):
“I’m actually wondering if in fact campaigns have any business at all trying to do official efforts on social networking sites. Why not just pass off a lot of widgets to the volunteers to try and gather the info, and let them do the evangelizing among the community. It’s probably on the unofficial sites that the more effective outreach, to influentials that they know or can tell they know, because they belong to the community.”

I agree with MyDD.
Let the supporters run with it. They will do a better job and keep it more relevant. -

http://hammer2006.blogspot.com.....ecret.htmlBy the way, not to be difficult, but I would answer #3 to this poll, “it depends”. There’s just a lot of factors involved, and I hope that after all the examination of this Obama MySpace situation is done, if that occurs, then we will all have a better understanding, that is actionable, of the relevant dynamics.
BTW, The Bivings Report is one of my favorite sites!

For the record, my current thinking is that I’m in favor of official profiles. But I also think anyone who claims to know what to do with this stuff with any certainty is fooling themselves. This stuff is too new, so I reserve the right to change my mind as more data comes in.
