Wow, I can’t believe he actually created his own web 2.0. It seems so bland and fake. I would never sign up for something like this.

Hey, get a goole email alias and log on. It’s worth it to test out the robotic “Naughty Words” filer. Try sending a message/post with any naught words COMBINATION of letters, such as a+s+s, as in Massachucets or assertion or t+i+t as in Constitution. Now, you must POST for the filter to flag you as “inappropriate” but I found it to be extremely funny the lenghts that sincere posters would go thru politely circumvent this… feature. Myself, um, I had fun scamming it.

[...] The problem is bigger than that. It is one of mindset. At this point, the majority of Republican campaigns just don’t have the stomach to run the kind of social campaigns being deployed by Barack Obama and John Edwards. The desire for complete control is still too strong. So you end up not blogging and with fake social tools like McCainSpace. [...]

[...] It’s also worth noting what isn’t included. Notably absent are any of the front-page social networking icons that most of the other candidates include. Before My.BarackObama.com and McCainSpace I wouldn’t have thought to mention that there is no social network, but there isn’t one. And there is no blog. A Facebook button wouldn’t kill them, but the one place they really need one is in their social bookmark toolbar — and it is. Meanwhile, a campaign probably shouldn’t be running a blog unless they have a compelling reason to do so. And while I do think a Giuliani-based social network could succeed, it certainly is no requirement. [...]
