Youtube declared the 2008 presidential battleground
The 2004 presidential elections revolved about Meetup.com, an online service that allows individuals to connect to like-minded people. As things look now, Youtube will be all the hype in the 2008 elections.
Earlier this month an anonymous user created a new version of Apple's famous 1984 ad where a colorful woman breaks the hold that a grey force has on the masses by hurling an oversized hammer through a movie screen.
The spoof however features Hillary Clinton talking on the screen as she is uttering shallow one-liners. The video ends with a campaign pitch for Barack Obama, one of several other Democratic presidential hopefuls.
Obama claims he has nothing to do with the video and the clip's author is staying tight-lipped on his or her identity.
Clinton meanwhile seems to be indifferent to her portrayal as Big Brother. "I haven't seen it, but I'm pleased that it seems to be taking attention away from what used to be on YouTube and getting a lot of hits, namely me singing The Star Spangled Banner," Clinton told New York's NY1 News.
