John McCain’s MySpace Page “Enhanced”

Koios · Mar 27, 2007

Someone on Presidential hopeful John McCain’s staff is going to be in trouble today. They used a well known template to create his Myspace page. The template was designed by Newsvine Founder and CEO Mike Davidson (original template is here). Davidson gave the template code away to anyone who wanted to use it, but asked that he be given credit when it was used, and told users to host their own image files.

McCain’s staff used his template, but didn’t give Davidson credit. Worse, he says, they use images that are on his server, meaning he has to pay for the bandwidth used from page views on McCain’s site.

Davidson decided to play a small prank on the campaign this morning as retribution.

It is astonishing how technologically naive some of the political staff in charge of quite simple yet important tasks can sometimes be.

haha, welcome to the new age of political campaigns.

These are the growing pains in the transition to a more internet-centralized society.

Thanks for the laugh!
