On: Obama's MySpace Drama

Not likely - MySpace did this for ALL the presidential candidates, not just on behalf of Obama. imo they should have done this as soon as they set up the Impact Channel, but hindsight is 20/20. From http://techpresident.com/node/301 Says Jeff Berman, MySpace's senior vice president for public affairs and general manager of video:

We are firmly committed to empowering our users and protecting their rights. The situation with Senator Obama's profile became an unfortunate instance where a user gave a campaign functional control of a profile and the relationship between the two broke down. We felt under the circumstances that Senator Obama had the right to the URL containing his name and to the official campaign content that was provided, but that the user should retain the basic elements of the profile, including the friends who had been accumulated. Now that each Presidential candidate controls his/her own MySpace page, we don't expect this to be a problem again.
