Obama and Social Networking
What was the success of Obama's campaign? Obama thought of a brilliant strategy to gain popularity. Obama created a webpage called MyBO. The website enabled easy access to media, information and campaign donations. This webpage gained him hundreds of volunteers and brought lots of money to his campaign. "He created the ultimate online political machine." Obama also used other sites on the web including youtube to post videos. The amount of popularity gained by networking was proof to the acceleration of networking in America. Social networking was a very smart technique to use in this modern world of buzzing technology. Never will a political campaign exist without the use of social networking and further networking advances.

I agree that Obama's strategy to use social networking helped him to gain popularity. The article, however, focuses on the techniques that Obama used to involve people in his campaign and to empower them with strategies for effective follow up with others.
