Newsweek profiles techPresident blog
Posted at 1:57 PM on February 26, 2007 by Jon Gordon
Newsweek is taking note of techPresident, the blog that's tracking the MySpace "friends" tally of presidential candidates. Excerpt:
In the early race for 2008, most national polls have Hillary Clinton thumping Democratic rival Barack Obama by double digits. But the junior senator from Illinois can take comfort in at least one tally: MySpace, apparently, is Obama country. About 48,000 members of the wildly popular social-networking site have added Obama to their online profiles as a "friend," while only 25,000 have "friended" Clinton. It may seem a trivial statistic. But to the political junkies who run techPresident.com, a new "group blog" that obsessively follows how the presidential campaign is playing on the Internet, no Web trend is too small to track.
I reported on techPresident last week on Future Tense (RealAudio - MP3 - iTunes).
