Week 8
This week, we touched on internet and the politics.
During this period of time, just a mention of the word "politics", everyone thinks of Obama! Looking at his campaigns, you can see how the internet was very wisely used. We shall look into the various internet tools he used for his campaign.
1. Youtube
During class, we were shown the music video for Obama's "Yes we can" campaign.
Not only was Youtube used for videos of Obama, his speeches are also uploaded here, such as his 2009 inauguration.

He obviously have many accounts on facebook, however which is his real one is unclear.3. Website : http://www.barackobama.com/
4. Friendster(I am not on friendster, thus unable to get a screen shot of it!)
In fact, he uses so many internet tools that in an article titled "Barack Obama Being the First US "Tech President"", Obama is described as a technology-savvy politician. Read the entire article here.
Indeed Obama have proven that being internet savvy is very important even in the world of politics!
