    Update: The results do not replicate anymore, but I still had the tab with the results open. So here is a full screenshot of the Google Results I had. Compare it to what we have now if you’d like.





    I don’t think I really have to say much more than that. Facebook’s platform, its Login page, signing up for Facebook…somehow none of these beat Obama’s Facebook Profile. Clearly Obama’s Internet popularity translates across all facets of the social media sphere. You’ll find his Twitter and his MySpace fairly quickly in searches of the presumptive Democratic nominee.

    Is this simply a reflection of Obama’s Internet popularity? Did Facebook do anything intentional to bump up his search engine ranking?

    I wonder.
