Obama Online: Facebook Vs. MySpace


As a frequent poster at MyBarackObama.com, I have to really hope that they continue that site the way it is- the Scoop style commenting on posts and the ability of supporters to set up their own sections for news and fundraising was just seminal to the victory, imho. Plus, I'm used to the old version. Via Washington Whispers-

Americans are clearly eager to network with the new Obama administration online, but they're split over which site the new president's team should use. In the new Washington Whispers poll conducted by Synovate eNation, Facebook was slightly ahead of MySpace as the favored networking site. Two others, Twitter and the picture-post Flickr, barely registered.

The polling data showed that the division over Facebook and MySpace deepened in different age groups. Those ages 18 to 24 preferred Facebook 53 percent to 34 percent. And the 35-to-44 crowd did too, 55 percent to 34 percent. Also, the more post-high school education the poll participant had, the more Facebook was the choice.
