When Sen. Obama got elected president of the United States he tried a new approach using the Internet to get to voters. Young voters use the Internet much more now than they did not so long ago and the Internet provides a good way to get the message through to them. It is also interactive that means that the voter can ask questions and get answers, which was hard to do before this enormous use of the internet. Here´s a video that shows how Obama most likely won the elections against McCain by being on top of the media called the Internet and how he could affect the voters by using it during his campaign.

It was amazing to see how the presidential electorates used the internet to promote their opinions. I noticed it on social news sites like digg.com.
ReplyDeleteSadly, the owners of digg somehow managed to mess that site up. It was good while it lasted.
Why are Icelandic politicians so lazy using tools like twitter and facebook to connect with the voters? Borgarahreyfingin did a decent job before the last parliamentary elections I guess..
