Barrack Obama is president of the United States. Wow. How did he manage to do this? Its all about getting your name out there, getting people to talk about you, getting people to interact with you. America needs a president that can speak to the people that can relate to the people. Barrack Obama is this man. He knows how to attract people. Ever since he started the campaign trail he knew how to get in touch with the people of today. Barrack used text messaging to get people news, and get people to pass information on. This was a great idea; everyone today owns a mobile phone, and texts. Right there he is converging with the people, getting people to work together and change the times. David Talbot talks about how Obama’s campaign has caught up with the technology age we live in today. Obama has social networking sites; you can organize house parties, and get other Obama supporters to come and converse. To me that is awesome.
The Obama campaign like Wikipedia started from the ground up. The both started from nothing, and with the support of other people, and the contributions people brang to the table, made it into what it is today. The both only exist because of the tones of support they receive from whoever wants to contribute. Without the collective intelligence of individuals they would not have succeeded.
So I now leave you with this. The presidential address was no doubt history in the making, It was heart felt. It was sincere and genuine. Most importantly it left me with a feeling of Hope. Hope for our future, and our kids’ future. So hold your head up high, because today is a new day, and tomorrow don’t look too bad either.

Absolutely! I wonder how these campaign strategies will translate to presidential strategies. I'm hoping with continued genuine interest in the people and willingness to share responsibility with them, and the right use of networking, he'll be able to sustain this high energy enthusiasm.
I just want to let you know that I really liked the idea of you putting totally random pictures of the Obama campaign in your links but at the same time I totally think your a dork!!!
I really liked that your post wasn't just like you wrote a paragraph. It was more like you were engaging with your audience which is cool. I also liked that you ended with Obama's presidential speech.
Very nice post.
I'll be interested in seeing how he incorporates using these things as he takes over the office. I hope that it's not something that he'll leave behind because, for the first time I can remember, someone really used technology to it's full advantage. His campaign was run on a completely different level and I think if he continues that, his popularity will only continue to grow.
