2.Barack Obama campaign's use of social networking tools.
Prior to reading this article, I had no idea that Barack Obama's campaign relied so heavily on the use of the internet and social networking tools. I thought that his popularity and success came from the fact that people could relate to him and his extremely positive approach to everything. I never realized that his website www.my.barackobama.com was so successful and influential on his campaign. In addition, I was unaware of Howard Dean's use of these internet sources and his money-raising success.
I too was unaware of how Obama got so famous out of nowhere and thought his popularity came from how the people related to what he was saying. I was surprised to hear that social media was the reason behind his rise to success. It now makes more sense because social media does have a very strong influence on the public, and using it to your advantage like Obama did will result in success for campaigning.
