Obamas MySpace Conundrum - The Caucus - Politics - New York Times Blog
Here's a perfect example of old meets new in the world of politics and Web 2.0. Can Obama's Campaign just take over a volunteer supporter's MySpace page?
When and how is it right to do so? Indeed, there's still a lot of water to be navigated in this sea.

Posted by Amber D. (Evans) Marcu, Ph.D. at 11/14/2007 05:18:00 PMOkay. Today I was innocently googling for a lost blog that I used to share with some female cyclist friends. When I googled the terms I was looking for, I got two top hits that linked to her blogs and a truckload of my own Twitterings right beneath. I scanned the page and was thinking, Huh! I'm surprised but it's fine and dandy--WAIT A MINUTE! I came across one of dubious nature at the w3top.org site. Using MY Twitter information, they have created a FAKE Twitter-Date hook-up site for ... me? ... based out of the Netherlands? Say WHAT?!?
According to them, I'm also seeking a: woman. Uh-uh ... No, I don't think so!
Like I said, Twittering just got a little creepy, if only because other people use my public information for things of dubious and unauthorized use. My next question is, "How do I make them stop?"
