Obama uses iPhone App to get help with campaign

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - October 03, 2008

No matter what side of the political spectrum you're on, you have to admit that Barak Obama's campaign sure knows how to use technology to their advantage. They famously used a text message to tell the country of his VP pick. He's use the Internet to raise money, and now he's using an iPhone App to draft people to help with his campaign.

"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.

"It brings together several social networking capabilities that are already out there. But this is the first time I've seen a political campaign make use of them," said Chris Hazelton, the mobile and wireless director of research at the 451 Group. "
