I remember how it was easy to connect with Obama through different social media channel because Obama and his followers were well aware how much this medium can boost up his campaign through cross media in connecting common people through different social media channels. It’s true, Obama would have not been a president without Internet, he has very effective and smart people working with him those ran the campaign to leverage the mainstream media to such greater extent. His supporter and volunteer were everywhere, it fully with online video, blogging, social networking and forums for campaigning and fundraising.

As per Newsom social networking is significantly more powerful and allows for the creation of much more meaningful connections between the candidate and voters. “I’m addicted to Facebook,” he said.
Also Obama has a very savvy and functional website with regular update.
Newsom notes “every single thing a candidate says, and how he says it,” is available online for people to review and judge. And he questions whether candidates today are more authentic or less authentic now that they have to be “on” all the time.
This is the time to analyze that how much such impact can bring positive results because the Internet has drawn more people than ever that can capable enough to make future of a country. Barack Obama’s campaign obviously the biggest campaign platform so far has been over the Internet because he knew where the internet has arrived today and his team were smart enough to take full advantage of it.. Salute to Obama on his Victory!
