In the world of facebook and myspace, Barack Obama created his own social networking site. On the homepage it is defined as an "online community with over a million members. Get access to the tools you need to effectively organize for Barack Obama and build this movement for change." On the right side of the page there is an area to click to donate to help victims of Southern California fires. A perfect opportunity to Jindal to ask for help for hurricane victims.
Once you sign up and become a member you can create a profile to tell other users about yourself and even manage a blog on the site. You join a network based on where you live and can find events in your area. There is also a log where you can keep track of your involvement.
The site isn't doing anything that's particularly new, but they are taking a bunch of different internet outlets and bringing them together in one place. You even have the option of connecting your facebook account with your MyBO account. It streamlines the online experience. If I had to guess, I would say that facebook probably served as a template for the site but it keeps everything you need to know about Obama and his campaign in one place.
Needless to say, Bobby Jindal will have his own as well, in some variation of this form.
