MyBarackObama: Who Built This?

Mike Arrington, on Barack Obama’s new community web site:

All I really want to know is, who built this for them? It launched basically feature-complete and bug free, which would be very hard to do without an extended beta.

We’ve now gotten to the point where Mike Arrington thinks it’s weird to release software to the public only after it is finished. I’m guessing they did have a beta — a real one, not a public one. I’d be appalled if a presidential candidate launched a half-assed beta web site.

Update: DF reader Jeffrey Durland points out that if you poke around MyBarackObama.com, you can see that it was built by Blue State Digital.
