    20. Case Study #1: PowerVote
              • Challenges - Original goal of 1 million names unrealistic Groups with lists that size took much longer to build, and had major star power (ONE/Bono, WE/Gore) - Long lag (up to 3 wks) in processing pledge cards b/c all had to be checked against Catalist (boxes of pledge cards still arriving in mail) - Some social networks got very little response (Xianz, BlackPlanet, Flickr), so focused on Facebook
