I’m not going to dive into political discussions but I’m still trying to decide if I prefer a black or a female president. Both would be a milestone anyway. Anything is probably better than what the Yanks currently have. Don’t say a black and female president would be best because that means Condoleezza would take over. Anyway. Let’s look at the websites of the two that have announced their campaigns so far. I’m sure Condi will join the party later on…

Barack Obama

Barack Obama has certainly engaged the right people to create his site as they’ve produced a state-of-the-art social networking site that let’s his supporters get engaged by creating their profiles and blogs, hook up with other supporters and find/plan events. Furthermore he’s leveraging all relevant Web 2.0 channels such as YouTube, flickr, MySpace and Facebook. And Barack TV of course let’s you embed the videos on other websites.

Hillary Clinton

Well… Hillary wasn’t all that lucky with her web producers. They missed out on pretty much all of the funky stuff. Can’t embed her videos and her MySpace isn’t all that cool either.
