LOS ANGELES, March 19 (UPI) -- MySpace users who want to register to vote or learn the latest on the 2008 U.S. elections can visit Impact Channel, a political community on the network.
The portal is designed to connect politicians, non-profits and civic organizations with users around the world, MySpace said in a news release. The Impact Channel will contain a voter registration tool, links to official candidate profiles, Impact-related event and job listings, videos and programs.
"By empowering our users with easy-to-find information, offered in a way they can relate to it, Impact will ignite their involvement in the political process," said Chris DeWolfe, chief executive officer of MySpace.
Modeled after existing channels such as MySpace Music and Video, the new channel will enable the community to learn about the candidates, experience the political process online and offline and learn more about issues and organizations.
As part of the Impact launch, 10 presidential candidates, five Republicans and five Democrats, posted their official MySpace profiles.
