By the time of Obama’s official campaign announcement, Anthony’s Obama profile–which had the valuable url of myspace.com/barackobama–already had more than 30k friends, well more than the other contenders. Over the following weeks, it continued to grow at a rapid pace, generating lots of headlines about Obama winning the “MySpace primary.” Yesterday, the profile had just over 160k friends. Today, that url has only ~12K. And it’s under new ownership. Joe Anthony, one of the super volunteers of the Connected Age, has lost control of the page he started to the professionals on Obama’s staff.

obama staffers are just as clueless about the internet. not a good sign
