Obama Drafts iPhone Users To Help With Campaign
A new iPhone application, freely available at the Apple App Store, makes use of the iPhone's social networking and viral communications attributes.

The Obama campaign may be edging up in the polls, but it's trying to leave nothing to chance. It's developed a new iPhone application, freely available at the Apple App Store, that makes use of the iPhone's social networking and viral communications attributes.

Perhaps it biggest innovation is to make use of a self-selected supporter's willingness to call his friends about the campaign. After a user opens the application, it displays the user's caller list state by state. If he is paying attention to closely contested regions, he can select friends in battleground or swing states and call them, urging them to vote for Obama. The application tracks who's been called, who was reached, who needs to be contacted again, Hazelton said.

At the same time the application allows the user to sign up in less than a minute as a volunteer or simply register to receive the latest information, wherever the user may be, said Hazelton.

If one of my friends called me to urge me to vote for Obama I would give him an earful.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

Why? Isn't it voluntary?
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

No of course not, I only posted it because it said "iPhone" in the headline.

I don't care if it's voluntary, I think it's a ridiculous idea that has no merit at all. You don't make your candidate sound more appealing by creating iPhone applications designed to help you tell your friends how they should be voting.

For years campaign volunteers have been calling friends, acquaintances and strangers asking them to vote for their candidate. You want Obama in jail for building some software to help those volunteers out?

I was just kidding about the jail thing, but I do find it horribly obnoxious.
