Ok, this is a funny one. An article in the NYTimes reminds us of the different styles of the two candidates. Of course, I’m happy to report that, according to the article, Obama is a Mac.
It makes sense, though, doesn’t it?
Obama = open; friendly; hopeful; innovative; looking to the future; spry…
Hillary = old school; the big machine; hard edges; useful, but has been around too long; up to stuff you’re not sure you can trust…
The article mostly compares the web sites, which, by the way are drastically different in concept and execution. As a professional web producer I have been quite impressed with Obama’s site, especially its grass-roots feel.
Simple touches make a big difference. Note, as one simple example, the bottom right of Barack’s site. You’ll see a simple graphic:
“POWERED by HOPE…and supporters like you”. Ahhh. It’s like a warm bath.
But on the bottom of Hillary’s site, like a splash of ice water, you’ll see this:
OK. First of all, that’s a mighty nerdy hat. Secondly, I’m not on your site to buy anything.
Alright, the whole Mac/PC comparison is a bit of a stretch, but not too far fetched if you ask me. Just some food for thought.
But seriously, what you’re really after is to see more of those HI-larious I’m a Mac commercials. Click this link to get one at random:
LOL! That hat just says OLD LADY to me. Seriously Hillary is the anti-cool, trying to say that cool is not substantial enough.
