The Obama campaign changed the Internet landscape. It gave a real use to bloggers and supporters everywhere to convey their message as well as their support that gave overwhelming voter's turn-out. And importantly, put Obama as the new President-elect. So what do I think of Obamanomics?
Many said that change came to America on November 4, 2008. Evidently it did – in more ways than one. This is the election in which social media played a significant role in allowing American citizens, and people around the world, to feel that every one was taking an active role in democracy.
There was a wide range of tactics used to reach audiences that traditionally shy away from the voting booth. Not only Obama but McCain as well put serious effort into reaching people via social networks, YouTube and Second Life. It's very admirable the creative thinking behind some digital campaign initiatives to reach out to their audience and voters.
Obama used social media to engage individuals in a way never seen before, and the record turn out on polling day speaks volumes about the effectiveness of such communication. Barack Obama couldn't have been smarter. He connected very well to his followers and supporters with the use of social media. He has used this social network he has built to speak directly to his supporters. It really worked as a way to get his message out directly to the people. And gave him ovewhelming results on the Presidential election.
