The power of people's passion

Ok I may as well call this 'Diary of an Obama fan' and be done with it! He's impressed yet again. Well indirectly...

A free application was developed by volunteers in less than three weeks, for the iPhone. Primarily the software has a "Call Friends" option to help organise contacts in swing states. The application also passes on up-to-date news from the campaign, plus video, photos and talking points to help convince friends to vote for the candidate. Other features include making notes on which friends have been called, who they are supporting, and if they need a reminder on election day.

The website said the total amount of calls the application made were tallied but no information left the phone, so the privacy of friends and users were protected.

A note about the software was OF COURSE on his blog, saying: "This tool is designed to help you become more directly involved in our campaign to change the country."
