MySpace recently added a section to their site where politicians running for President in 2008 can create MySpace profiles and get their views heard. It’s a good idea for the politicians. So many people inhabit the MySpace world and by simply creating a profile with your views, you really can let many people know how you feel and get people on your team.

When I saw MySpace Impact, I went and visited most of the pages. I had my usual preconcieved views but I wanted to know the real story and decide who I would want to vote for. I’m not posting this to tell you who you should vote for. But I am posting this because it is beyond me how stupid one of them decided to be.

If your goal is to get people to view your profile and be able to see your views, why would you make your profile private? I’m not going to go out of my way to add you to my friends if I don’t agree with your views. And how can I agree with your views if I have no idea what they are? I can see a sub-point to it. If you have to be his friend to view his profile, some people might add him out of curiosity. Then, he will be networked to everyone on their list. However, that plan will reach less people than if you made it public. And if it were public, more people might see your views and agree with you, thus adding you to their lists validly.

I’d heard some good things about you Rudy Giuliani. And I really was interested in seeing how you felt about the issues. And while, now, I know how all of your competitors feel, I have no idea about you.
