"As the country's most trafficked Web site, MySpace will play a powerful role in the upcoming election," Chris DeWolfe, MySpace's chief executive said in a statement.Are you MySpace crazy? Then here is some exciting news for you. MySpace.com, the popular social networking site, on Sunday launched a section dedicated to the 2008 presidential election.
Called the Impact Channel, it's the latest attempt by an Internet company to educate voters by serving as an information hub for political candidates and the public.
Democrats Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Edwards, Joe Biden and Dennis Kucinich have setup MySpace profiles. Republicans McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Duncan Hunter, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul also have pages.
MySpace users will be able to read the candidates' blogs, see photos and video and, if they choose, link their favorite candidate to their friends list or put a candidate's ad onto their own pages.
Some candidates, taking advantage of the Internet's potential to reach millions of voters, have already set up their own campaign Web sites and profiles on other social networking Web sites, including Facebook and Friendster.
Time to have some big names in your friend list and be a talked about profile among your friends.
