President Elect & Social Media

November 17th, 2008, JRoy

The heaviest social media presidential campaign is now behind us, what are the plans for the President Elect and the future of his Presidential campaign?

Well, just check out Change.gov also known as the site of “The Obama – Biden Transition” , I saw the site and was very enthused to see that it is very social media driven.

The 2 most amazing features of the new site are:

1. An American Moment: Your Story…this urges us to:

“Start right now. Tell us your story in your own words about what this campaign and this election mean to you. Share your hopes for an Obama Administration and a government for the people.”

2. The Weekly Online address

Obama plans to deliver a weekly status update via YouTube. That’s right. YOUTUBE!

“For the first time, the weekly Democratic address has been released as a web video. It will also continue to air on the radio.

President-elect Obama plans to publish these weekly updates through the Transition and then from the White House.”

I know this blog post is quick but I urge you to check out the Change site and explore the site and efforts of President Elect 2.0.
