Presidential Campaign and Social Media

Watched the presidential debate earlier this evening. I think both candidates did an excellent job .  OK – enough said about that!

It’s interesting to see which forms of social media each of the candidates are using.  Initially Obama seemed to be more into social media, but since Sarah Palin has joined McCain, their use of social media has escalated, which is very cool!  I’m following both candidates on Twitter, and boy, Obama evidently joined much earlier than McCain.  Obama has 86,000 followers and McCain (at this time) only has 2,000 followers!

Their YouTube videos are multiplying daily, as well as the use of other blogspots.  Since I’m in the SEO industy, it’s good to watch how social media will help in promoting each of the candidates.  Spread the word, people!  If you don’t join in, you’ll be left in the dust!!

And what a beautiful day in the MidSouth for the big party at Ole Miss today.  It was fun to see both planes land in/near Memphis for the big debate.  What fun for the local Memphis media.
