Obama to Text Message, Email VP Choice to Supporters

Democrats have been cited as embracing technology to more extent than the GOP (though a close look at YouTube might dispel that concept), and in an email sent to supporters Sunday night, the Obama camp has extended a technological hand to let you know (if you really, really want to) who his VP choice is first, via SMS or email.

Sign up at the site, and you can "Be the First to Know," as the campaign calls this latest effort. Or, if you text message VP to 62262 you can receive a text message on your mobile phone.

While this might be good --- if you're really, really desperate for the news --- you could just settle for waiting a few more minutes for the news to hit Twitter. Nah.
