Take a look at Facebook's profile page on Evri. The only immediate "person" connection is Barack Obama - http://www.evri.com/organization/facebook-0x4c6d4.html

Overall his new media strategy as right on the money.

The Internet is just another form of advertising/marketing like the newspaper, magazines, television, radio, etc...

Did it have that much of an effect on the election? I don't think so. If you voted for Obama, are you telling me that it was the Internet portion/activity that made you vote for his ticket? If so, I think it says more about you than about him.

Rather, I hope it was his policies/stances that made you vote for him. If not, you really need ... help.

To be honest, both candidates should have been saying that taxes were not going to be either cut or cut as much as previously stated due to the changes in the economic crisis. The Obama economic team stated they were working hard, now, to determine how to respond to the changing economic climate since their work and stance was based on the pre-market/bank crash--meaning their raise taxes and spend more position. My guess is that the backpeddling has started--he stated it might not happen soon or in his first term in office... Seems we will be waiting for that change a little bit longer.

And no, I voted Libertarian (not because I am a "technical" libertarian, but because I think both parties are trying hard to reduce the freedom's enjoyed by the "other" party, and I don't understand that--the Declaration, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Amendments, etc. are there to guarantee ALL of US have those rights) because I think both McCain and Obama "mislead" the public and said things just to get elected. We should all be looking at the promises made and what is done once in office. We should remember--I think both McCain and Obama knew they were going to have to change their economic plans (tax cuts, spending, etc.) due to the changing market conditions, but we heard very little about making the tax cuts smaller, etc.

Either way, the Internet just gets the message out sooner since there is no waiting for publishing and the "distribution" is based on both a server-oriented and peer-to-peer method to spread the "news." However, I don't think the method of delivery (Internet, newspaper, or anything else "makes" you change your vote). Rather, it is the opinions of the candidate, as expressed in the media, that sway your position.

Obama's campaign was outstanding in its own use of the internet to get its message out. But the public's use of social networking tools was the bigger factor in my opinion.

True leadership in the new millenia is telling someone what they want to hear, like a therapist. Someone that can come out of nowhere, with no questions asked and *poof* handed the keys to the greatest Republic this planet has ever had. Just like when you see the soccor Mom climb out of her SUV and gives her screaming kid more candy so he'll be quiet in the grocery store.

Now on to hearing remarks of retaliation from all you hipsters.

You might be interested in this post where I compared the search engine results & social media presence's of Barack Obama and John McCain, on Google, Google News, Image and Video Search, Technorati, Wordpress.Com, and Yahoo. Also search results for both, and their presences and subscribers on Youtube Flickr, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Friend Feed, and the % differences between both.

on MySpace, McCain's profile strangely had no comments vs Obama's 147,630. Obama had 117, 873 Youtube Subscribers and 22,226 friends, McCain had zero of each. Obama's website had nearly 6,000% more pages than McCain's.
