Barack Obama capped his big week-end by beating out Anna Nicole Smith as most searched name on the internet. This rise in the ranks of world wide search engines may help go a long way to reaching the 33% of the U.S. population that is still unfamiliar with Obama's name.
We're not exactly sure who these people might be, although apparently the don't watch Oprah, read Men's Vogue, or watch Monday Night Football. However, it's a problem Obama himself acknowledges.
That said, Obama shouldn't worry that he's short on friends. According to the newly launched techpresident.com he leads the democratic nominees in myspace friends, clocking in at 37,819. That's 15,599 more than Hillary Clinton. Who says it's lonely at the top?
