Doing my normal everyday thing, that’s what I like to call it, I came across the Obama ’08 iPhone Application – just released today.

I expected this. I think we all did. Just look at how this election has boiled down with only 33 days left until we vote for our next “great” leader.

The application features a “unique” look at the Obama campaign – you can see first your contact list is separated by states and you are able to call them to tell them to vote for Obama, or organize a fun political retreat easier. Like your going to do that!  Just kidding. And it also does the normal things you might expect, such as receiving updates, news, finding local events using the GPS features, watching multimedia clips and Sen. Obama’s view on the all the issues, which you can look up in a very easy manner under the issues tab.

This just expands on the face of social media, and how each candidate has approached this upcoming election. For example, each candidate built a website that is very ‘social media’ friendly, with both taking a Web 2.0 approach.  At the same time, on the Obama website, you can follow him on Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr, Digg, Twitter, Eventful, LinkedIn, BlackPlanet, Faithbase, Eons, Glee, MiGente, MyBatanga, and AsianAve.

McCain’s website has a similar look and feel, but a little too obvious, like there trying too hard to be something there not – if you know what I mean.  He put something together called the McCain Community; you can go and personalize news feeds, a blog, etc…but offers little reach to communities outside of his own – besides his links to a MySpace, Facebook and YouTube channel to follow him on.

And it makes perfect sense – Obama is ‘for change’ (guy says that), and is the choice of many young voters; who through social media, have been involved in this pre-election nonsense that began more than two years ago when candidates were preparing to make their run.

But with candidates taking advantage of Facebook and MySpace, using the all-famous, but not very successful CNN YouTube debates; this all has culminated to an end point where you would expect the voter turnout to be massive – with such a younger population involved.

Will that be the case?

Probably not – I feel like we heard that same message four years ago – but again, these social media applications and tools were not what they are today – so of course it is possible.  But naturally, you have to aim high, and expect low.

To close this wonderfully short posting – the Obama iPhone Application – even if you don’t like him – take a look @ it – another priceless application. I am just curious what McCain will counter with?
