Using Social Media: Barack Obama A Case Study For Business Development.
Brent Leary and I would like to thank all of you who attended the Barack Obama Social Media webinar. It was interesting to assess how Senator Obama is leveraging Social Media as he is pursuing the highest office in the country. I personally learned a great deal in doing the research for this event. Your response to the topic has been incredible.
To those that were not able to join us live on the call, here are the links to the complete webinar.

This webinar is not about politics at all. We are taking a look beneath the surface to examine briefly how Senator Obama is strategically and tactically using not only Social Media Applications but also Social Media Culture to promote into the marketplace, connect to the people and gather support.
Because of the introduction of Social Media (Twitter, Youtube), people who would have never had a voice in the political process are engaging in the conversation.
There are lessons to be had for any business owner who is looking to see a working blueprint for online promotion.
Again we appreciate the interest and response to this timely and multifaceted topic. We will be following this story as it unfolds.

Barack's campaign has just taken all of these components and put them together in a way that simply changes everything for political campaigns. I know that one of the Facebook founders is working for the campaign and there must be others.
To be open to this approach, learn from it, and then move it all forward in such a short time frame is simply astounding and outstanding.
People who run election campaigns will be dissecting this one for a long time. You were very fortunate to listen a bit on the inside.
You are right Scott. One of the Founders of Facebook is in Senator Obama's corner. And yes, this is wonderful case study for many subjects.
I am interested to see how Social CRM and this campaign will play out. The rest of this year going to be a roller coaster.
