Update: When I was listening to Maria from Voto Latino answer part of Sarah's (someone not me from the audience) question w/r/t their outreach to the Latino community through myspace - she comments about how Latinos don't use facebook as much as they use MS and the impact of music and local dj's etc. on the community...

I wanted to say at one point that the common mistake from orgs that want to develop their own SN sites to be hosted on their websites is that 1. thats a waste of time, but 2. those that chose to just go with what they've got (meaning using existing online options) they ignore MS as a resource.

I can't remember if it was Kevin or Tony Cani who said while we were talking about this that MS is just ugly - if you agree you need to get over that. It isn't just Latinos that are using myspace its a number of minority voters, non college graduates, and high school seniors. Taking MySpace out of your SN outreach ignores a huge population of people. Which, clearly, you don't want to do.

It was Tony

If you would remember, I agreed that it was ugly, but I also mentioned that from the Phoenix City Council race I worked on in 2007 I saw how important MySpace was in reaching young Latino(a) voters. Maria's comments definitely echoed my experience with that campaign.
