Obama's Wide Web: From YouTube to Text Messaging, Candidate's Team Connects to Voters (WaPo)
Note: This year's primary season, spanning six months, proved that online buzz and activity can translate to offline, on-the-ground results. Indeed, the web has been crucial to how Obama raises money, communicates his message and, most important, recruits, energizes and turns out his supporters. His online operation is the envy of strategists in both parties, redefining the role that an online team can play within a campaign.

Tech: Are You Ready for Social Mapping?
Note: When Nick Douglas, an aspiring comedy writer in San Francisco, wanted to avoid an "annoying" couple in his neighborhood, he turned to Dodgeball. Not the masochistic childhood game, but a mobile phone service that informs you of your friends' locations via text message. The couple, he says, were Dodgeball diehards and updated nearly all their errands and outings. "I was able to avoid them for weeks," says Douglas, 24.
