Obama takes the lead with another emerging technology: temporarily embedding advertising inside video games. The technology is only 18 months old, and Obama is the first presidential candidate to buy space for the Xbox Live system. "The ads — appearing on billboards and other signage — remind players that early voting has begun and plug a campaign Web site that encourages people to register for early voting." The video game ads are targeting 10 battleground states that allow early voting, including Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada and Florida among others.

CivicActions' own Ian Rhett will be performing this Thursday night in San Francisco at the talent-filled Bank on Barack event! Ian recently released his latest video, What Kind of Amazing Grace which is remarkably beautiful and powerful. Bank on Barack is a fundraiser and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Barack Obama campaign! The show will be filled with singer/songwriters, comedy, performing arts and great DJs to shake you all night. If you are in San Francisco this week, grab your friends, open your wallet to give it up for change!

"If you have ever wondered what a perfect online marketing campaign looks like, just look at the Barack Obama campaign." That is the message at webprofits.com which has put together a detailed outline of the Presidential candidate's online strategy, including social networking, SEO, email marketing, mobile marketing and a number of other strategies.

OK, this may be a little off-topic, but this video is so wild that I had to share. My good friend DangerMarc just created a sweet video portrait of Barack Obama. You can also see more of Marc's work on his web site at http://sketchbook.dangermarc.com/obama.

If you like it, I'm sure he'd appreciate the Digg love too.
