That Tech-savy crew in the White House

At the beginning of the year, President Barack Obama's new 501©4
political nonprofit, Organizing For Action, was launched with all the
usual bells and whistles. But the tech wizards at OFA forgot one
important rule in today's Internet world: Register all the iterations of
your website address before someone else does.

Now Obama's team is filing complaints against the folks smart enough to get the addresses before he did.


As Obama's OFA made its debut, no one in his purportedly
Internet-savvy campaign had obtained the corresponding .com, .net, .org
or .us sites, nor did OFA register other names that are close to its
official one, as is the sensible practice. In the case of the .net
address, a fellow named Derek Bovard had already registered the .net
address by the time Obama's team took notice.


Bovard has routed his new site to the homepage of the National Rifle Association.


So, whenever anyone goes to www.organizingforaction.net they end up seeing the homepage of the NRA.


Naturally, Obama and his fellow community organizers were furious. So
furious, in fact, that they have replied by filing complaints against
Bovard--and, apparently, a variety of other people who had registered
domain names that OFA now wants.

 

 

Cute, throwing a hissy-fit because they didn't do all their work.

How about making them a counter-offer: you don't mess with the NRA unnecessarily and we won't e-mail everyone on the planet (UN, every nation, all the churches, all the civil rights people, every news outlet, Disney, Mad Magazine, etc.) and tell them what a dumb ass you guys are collectively.
