Barack Obama remains the trend-setter in Week 2 on MySpace as he continues to pick up more friends than any other candidate. The only change in the power rankings this week was I moved Hillary Clinton up to second spot. The past week was more productive for Clinton as she friended twice as many people as the previous second place John Edwards. Second tier candidates are a considerible distance behind the top tier candidates and there was no real movement this past week for any of them.

Barack Obama remains the trend-setter in Week 2 on YouTube as he continues to pick up more subscriptions than any other candidate. The only change in the power rankings this week was I moved Hillary Clinton up to second spot. This past week was more productive for Clinton as she gathered 42 more subscriptions than the previous second place John Edwards. Second tier candidates are a considerible distance behind the top tier candidates and there was no real movement this past week for any of them. Then there is Chris Dodd who is not having much luck at all with this social networking thing. Attention Senator Dodd, maybe you should hire up a couple college students to help craft a social networking plan that will be competitive with the rest.
