Obama on Social Media
October 7, 2008
Barack Obama speaks to a crowd (April, 2008) about how his campaign has benefited from the expanded use of social media. He credits the social media with organizing his volunteers, specifically in Idaho and Kansas.
Supporters gathered together “on whatever social network they were using… they just started organizing.”
He praises the efficiency of social media in saving time and money and its ability to connect people. He even alludes to the fact that government should learn how to better leverage social media tools.
