Be All And End All

This election will be won or lost on the internet. Specifically on MySpace. The campaign that has the most friends on MySpace will get Iowa Caucus voters to vote for them. Fact.

The development of Internet strategy that came out of the Dean for America movement, from plans on how to organize volunteers recruited online, to the technology development which will populate content across many website platforms and external webservices, spreading into niche communities via word-of-mouth… all of that pales in comparison to a Presidential Campaign’s ability to add friends on MySpace.

Popularity on MySpace has supplanted an entire industry and rendered moot all expertise in online politics aside from the ability to add friends.

The person on MySpace with the most friends shall be deemed President and the #2 finisher is the Vice President. Right now, I’m calling the race for Tom and then Dane Cook for Veep, and Lamp as Secretary of State.

No doubt, “friends” are an overhyped metric. It’s why I wrote this piece a few days ago.

There’s no way to know how hard or soft any of that support is.

Thanks for the reality check. And the laugh.

I love lamp

I’m not just looking at things in the office and saying that I love them.
