One of the hallmarks of this US Presidential Election has been the incredibly effective use of the internet by the Obama campaign. This particular video, by moveon.org, lets you send a customized message out to your slacker friends… the ones who might not be planning to vote.
Viral video is nothing new of course. However, this one is spreading like wildfire. Why? MoveOn encourages you to load your Yahoo, AOL or Hotmail address book into their site and send custom messages to ALL of your friends. As I was watching the site, the counter online seemed to be sending out 100 new custom videos every 5 to 6 seconds. Over 13.5 million videos sent so far.

Over the last week we’ve had several large (100+ participants), but private, conference calls happen on Calliflower. Without violating the privacy of the parties involved (no, I won’t say whether it was Democrats, or Republicans, where they were calling from or when), it appears that youth campaigns in this presidential election have discovered Calliflower conference calls. With Calliflower’s integration with Facebook, these live conference calls are an ideal adjunct to the groups, fan pages, and other features already provided by Facebook.
Need to organize a conference call for a large group of people? Check Calliflower out on the web, or try Calliflower conference calls on Facebook.
