I think it's a good idea but the demographic on MySpace and YouTube also don't act. Evidence to this is the 2004 Democratic Presidential Primaries. Howard Dean put a ton of effort on the web and online, it looked like no one could beat him but yet he couldn't beat John Kerry or John Edwards. Also, New Line banked on internet buzz for "Snakes on a Plane" and it looked like all the buzz would make the movie a blockbuster at the box office but it tanked.
I think the internet is the future in many ways but at the same time, you have to think about the type of people who frequent the internet right now. It's a generation that doesn't believe they should have to pay for anything (music, movies, etc.) and they don't put their vote where their mouth is.
