I thought I would take a break from prepping for my presentation and post some interesting numbers I've found in my research...
-Of the $600 million Obama raised, $500 million was from online donors; the average online donation was $80.
-On Obama's site, 2 million people created profiles. (See MyBarackObama.com) In addition, there were 200,000 offline events planned, around 400,000 blog posts written, and more than 35,000 volunteer groups created.
-5 million people used other social networking sites to keep track of the campaign.
-the Obama campaign had profiles on more than 15 social networking sites.
I also found some comparisons between Obama and McCain:
Obama: 2,379,102 supporters
McCain: 620,359 supportersObama has 380% more supporters than McCain
MySpace

Hope this was a nice study break for everyone. Good luck tomorrow!
