Barack Obama's online popularity has skyrocketed since his win in Iowa; Facebook's role in Saturday's debates may have underwhelmed, but it did give voters a chance to spout off; Ron Paul is excluded from yesterday's GOP debate and no one really knows why; citizen journalists the Uptake post a video about their process in Iowa; and Joe Garofoli describes the intricate dance campaigns perform to turn online support into offline action and to court the youth vote.

Oops!; the CIA meets YouTube with YouInterrogate; Why Tuesday dresses like 19th century horsemen, storms a debate; a robot heckles Bill Clinton; and checking out an impressive PowerPoint presentation from McCain's campaign.

We studied the candidates' websites and statements, hunting for signs that they understand the importance of the internet and new technology for America's future. The Republican field, with the exceptions of Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul, barely escaped flunking.
