Some polls show that Barak Obama is doing better than John McCain when it comes to younger voters for the 2008 presidential election. According to Newsweek:
Overall, voters see Obama as the preferred agent of “change” by a margin of 51 percent to 27 percent. Younger voters, in particular, are more likely to see Obama that way: those 18 to 39 favor the Illinois senator by 66 percent to 27 percent.
One reason why Obama may be leading with younger voters is his sophisticated web campaign. Continue reading ‘Barak Obama Wants You to Vote… and Blog’

Previously, we discussed the helpfulness of directories and shared some tips on how to avoid being labeled a spammer. Now, we show you the first “human-powered” search engine/directory that strives to be spam-free.

Sometimes, so-called “controversies” are overblown by the media. The topic of online privacy on social networks, however, is not one of those cases.
Here’s a personal vignette to share: just this week, I found a friend request from someone I have already friended. It was a curious thing, and then I scrolled down to see that the friend in question posted a warning on his status update feature: “My name and photo have been hijacked to create a FAKE second profile. Please disregard any friend requests from this fake second profile. The REAL profile has this cat icon.” Continue reading ‘Stop Poking Me: Spamming on Networking Sites’
