Everybody’s favourite Social Network (well, at least mine) is a useful channel if you want to spread the word during an election. US movement Rock the Vote (are you old enough to remember Madonna posing for Rock the Vote in the early 90ies?? I am… had that picture on my teenage bedroom wall) just built an application to harness the power of a network.

By adding the application to your profile you can actively ask your personal network to vote in this US election. If you have lots of friends in the US who are eligible to vote, you might wanna check it out… if you care about US politics that is, and music (Rock the Vote has been aiming at the MTV-generation since its inception, by telling them it is cool to vote).

I will be watching this application – curious to see its uptake.
