Barack Obama’s election was historic not just politically – his use of the the Internet to promote awareness and create a loyal following will be the template which all future presidential campaigns will draw inspiration from.

Just to make a point on how serious Obama’s popularity was online - one of my writers published a post which kind of put down Obama - got no love in social voting sites - on another one of my business sites another writer wrote a very similar post that was positive regarding Obama and it went hot for a while and got a lot of links.I guess you have to play to your audience a little.

Good write-up.  It would be nice to see UK politicians dipping into a piece like this and seeing the power of social media for campaigning...think of the money saved too (although I do hear that Barak did rack-up quite a few bills!)  ...anyway, pleased for your guys that you’ll be getting a change anyway!
