The Facebooker Who Friended Obama
Interesting article about one of the founders of Facebook who quit to work on Senator Obama’s online campaign.
“You can have the best technology in the world,” he said, “but if you
don’t have a community who wants to use it and who are excited about
it, then it has no purpose.”
I think we would do well to remember that it’s about the people and the community first.

I totally agree. Cultivating a strong digital presence with New Media strategies may help a candidacy, but still doesn’t automatically translate into winning elections.
Just ask Ron Paul.
