An Indication Of How President Obama Will Use Social Media
We have all recently blogged about the extensive use of social media for Barak Obama’s campaign for presidency. After his win, we all sort of wondered how Obama would use social media after he officially becomes the president of the United States. In the article Obama White House to Broadcast Weekly Radio Address on YouTube, found on mashable.com by Adam Ostrow, apparently President Obama will be putting weekly video addresses on YouTube. The videos will also be posted on change.gov. The Obama administration is also likely to launch their very own YouTube channel. It seems as though we were all right to predict that he would continue using social media to communicate to the American people. It’s also noted in the article that Obama hasn’t used twitter since November 5th. Come on Barack, tweet it up!

I am very excited that Obama is integrating so much into social media. It will be good to try and get young people involved in what is going on and keep them involved. Sometimes it can just be quicker and easier to keep with things through the social media.
The change keeps coming, huh? I really can't wait to see how effective or ineffective the YouTube idea will be. I think it will be effective because throughout his entire campaign, he has been targeting a young audience, the young voter. I think this will really keep the support from his target audience. We will see in 2009.
