Social Media and Politics collide
The candidates get social.
I was working on a presentation that other day and I decided to take a look at political candidate sites to see who all uses social media. And to my surprise almost all of them do. I went to their homepages and all but Rudy Giuliani had links to social networks. So to those who say social media isn’t going mainstream, ur wrong. Most of them have used a mix of Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, flickr, eventful and a few others.
Sites I viewed:
- Barak Obama
- John Edwards
- Hillary Clinton
- Joe Biden
- Dennis Kucinich
- Rudy Giuliani
- John McCain
- Ron Paul
- Mitt Romney
- Tommy Thompson
