Will the White House Be Housing Social Networks in 2008?


Who said social networks would not be allowed into the White House in 2008? If you are not aware, a few U.S. Presidential Candidates are already using this new social media to connect their supporters together.

Earlier this month, the Republican Candidate Rudy Giuliani launched a social network called Team Rudy. Other candidates are using the social media for their various campaigns also. See Barack Obama, John McCain amongst others. Now, you can share your Ron Paul love with other supporters at RonsPeople.com

As with any social network, you can post music, videos, pictures and more to provide the world with more assurances of your Ron Paul love. (And you can't miss how “EVOL” in “revolution” is highlighted) Read it backwards and you get "LOVE"!

One unique feature of Ron's social campaign site is that it allows supporters to create multiple user profiles so you can get a handle on your privacy. You might wonder what you would have to hide from other supporters, but it's your choice.

Unfortunately, nothing seems spectacular beyond the standard social networking fare of messaging and so on, but this one is going to be driven solely by content and the true ability to network with others who share your common cause.

We'll see if social networks will stay at the White House come next year or if it's just a means to an end.
