Embracing the tubes

Candice pointed out to me this morning that US presidential hopeful John Edwards has a myspace, livejournal, youtube, del.icio.us, xanga, facebook, flickr, orkut, metacafe, tagworld, 43Things, yahoo! 360°, essembly, gather, partybuilder, ning, revver, blip.tv, CHBN, vSocial, collectivex, bebo, care2, and hi5 account.

I think this is what those in the campaign management profession call “trying too hard”. Be sure to read his website’s little blurbs about all of those services. And don’t forget your John Edwards wallpaper, blog badges, email signature images, and banner ads!

(Someone ought to buy the man a paid LiveJournal account already.)
