WARNING: This blogger does not intend to voice any political view via her sarcasm.
Throughout this course, we have learned how vital social media is for the consumer, businesses, politicians----whoa! wait! Politicians?! Yes, it is true, even politicians. Better yet, even the United States President. It is official, President Barack Obama has entered the Facebook world.
Although it is a possibility that Pres. Obama's sole purpose of a Facebook is to reach his family, all over the world, conveniently while sharing Christmas photos of the kids, we must be realistic. What is a politicians dream--to have the access to billions within one place. To be able to spread their message, beliefs, and background virally. Barack Obama has taken political campaigning to the next level by entering into social media!
As we are all aware of the different tools used via Facebook, Obama is able to reach out to his demographics, perform market research on his fans, and be able to provide a two line announcement including campaigning events and press releases.
Just browse around your "people you may know" link and see if you find your United States President, Barack Obama. Be careful, he might take it offensively if you "ignore" his fan page request.
Wow, this is extremely important for the political aspect of social media. For president Obama to include himself in on one of the largest social media platforms is a huge step in the communication process of the entire nation and/or world. Facebook has an enormous amount of followers and I am proud to see our president has jumped on the bandwagon as well. Interesting post!
