Read More: Hey Guys,
I just read some amazing articles and information on the revolutionary way, Barack Obama has used the power of social media to come inches away from becoming our first black president.
Now, whether you like him or not, there is no denying that he's revolutionizing internet marketing and anyone serious about social marketing should be studying everything Obama does.
Here are a list of articles and posts, which tell the story:

Notice the difference in followers. In fact, Barack has the largest following on Twitter period, with over 80,000 followers.
This should get the gears in your head turning.

Good example of the Power of Social Marketing
Whether or not the Social Media bubble has burst, the medium is here to stay! I'm sure the IT-types are busy updating their resumes and firing them out to every politician offering their skills at generating links/pages via social sites (from city hall to state to senate!). A few weeks back I signed up for Obama's Twitter text re: his VP that was supposed to circumvent the media, but then someone let the cat out of the bag a few hours early on CNN. However, it certainly put Twitter on the map for more North Americans. And yes, we Canadians watch too much US politics...well, at least I pay attention ;). Thanks for sharing those links.
