One of the many ways that the election of Barack obama as president has echoed that of John F. Kennedy is his use of a new medium that will forever change politics. Obama’s campaign forever changed the way politicians organize supporters, advise to voters, defend against attacks & communicate with constituents which in the past required an army of volunteers & paid organizers.
Obama took advantage of the internet. One of the many ways he used was YouTube for free advertising. It was watched for 14.5 million hours which on broadcast TV costs $47 million. He not only used YouTube but also Facebook, MySpace, …for running his campaign which I call it is the living space of the youth and of course used by most of our generation today.
Obama also just started a new site, Change.Gov, last month to keep in touch with people during the transition. I think we’re about to see the first wired, connected, networked presidency.
