		<description>This is an interesting point, when the tool set that the Obama campaign has seems to have the fundamental components of a social network. What makes MyBO fundamentally different from say Facebook or Myspace is the purpose people are using it. People don't necessarily go to my.barackobama.com to catch up with friends and 

I think what we will start to see more of are political websites that have these social networking features, but with more functionality to allow people to organize within their communities more effectively. Right now there is a somewhat of a top down feel to some of these tools because this is new within campaigns and staffers may not be able to afford to test functionality in the heat of a cycle.
