    What's the point on spending all this money on MySpace? Isn't the typical MySpace user under 18 years old and not old enough to vote? I just don't get it?

    Oops...accidentally hit submit early. I think that it is smart for these politicians to be on MySpace, but it is actually on the verge of ridiculous how much they are targeting their campaign to that crowd. As bhartzer said...a lot of the MySpace crowd is younger and could care less about politics. Then again I know a lot of college students involved in MySpace as well.

    Actually, the average age of MySpace has been steadily rising since its inception, and now is nearing 40.

    People see the blinged out profiles on MySpace and assume it's all kids, but it's definitely not. MySpace is like America itself -- full of different communities, socioeconomic groups, and interests.

    Firstly, I'm more than assured that the idea to create a profile on MS wasn't his own, but his PR managers. As I've noticed our politicians are fully involved and only in politics. They have no idea about network life, new streams and gadgets... Hardly can I imagine Obama sitting in the evening in front of the screen and chatting with MS audience on everyday issues. There should be somebody doing it instead of him.
