Around the Tubes - October 19, 2007

  • MTV and MySpace have announced that Barack Obama is the next candidate on tap in their Dialogue series. The Senator will appear live on MySpace and Think MTV on October 29th at 1:30pm. Supposedly all Republican and Democratic candidates will get their turn at the mic, though it's hard to see how that's possible at the current rate of production. Unless MTV and MySpace significantly speed things up, they won't get through more than three more candidates before both the Republican and Democratic nominees are selected.
  • You may have heard that Stephen Colbert is running for President. Well here's his FaceBook Group. Help Stephen be the first candidate to actually achieve the "1 million strong" mark.
  • Check out Vote Gopher, a comprehensive and slightly bizarro look at the Democratic and Republican candidates put together by students at Harvard.
  • MySpace is mimicking FaceBook and opening up its platform to third party developers.
  • Finally, Zack Exley recommends that we all read Everything Must Change, a book that is making the rounds and reframing the debate for young evangelicals.
