It may seem shocking to some people, but TMZ had an awesome post with a pseudo-conspiracy theory about Research in Motion (the folks who make the BlackBerry), Will.i.am and Barack Obama.
Here's a snippet
-----
Barack gets the Black vote -- BlackBerry that is!
Research in Motion -- the maker of BlackBerry -- is teaming up with Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am's website, Dipdive.com.
While the folks at RIM haven't officially endorsed Barack, Will.i.am is a fierce supporter of Obama. The Dipdive website has so much Obama content, it might as well be run by his camp!-----
I like the thinking - BlackBerry doesn't want to explicitly endorse anyone, so they partner with one of the most vocal Barack Obama supporters there is - I mean we've all seen the "Yes, We Can" video, right? It's a great double-whammy for RiM, at the same time offering a backdoor endorsement for the younger, hipper Democratic hopeful and making another move into the "fun" territory that is controlled by the Sidekick and the interloping iPhone.
Well-played, RiM.
