…and they’re continuing the conversation

BY JONATHAN TRENN: With the launch of Change.gov, the Obama team shows that they’re serious about keeping social media as a mechanism for governing. It’s an unprecedented move.

Now it will remain to be seen how deeply they mean it when they say they are listening. Obama campaigned as a “liberal centrist”, while at the same time he was rated as the most liberal senator by National Journal. He didn’t seem to want to admit that the surge in Iraq was working (although it’s still in progress and the mission has yet to be accomplished), so it remains to be seen whether or not these efforts will be a way of placating those that disagree or working with those that disagree.

Obama’s social media strategy made the difference…

I’ve been reading with interest the post-election analyses of the use of digital strategies for the U.S. presidential campaign. Barack Obama’s campaign wins hands down for overall integration of strategy.

Here's a list of all of your fine work:
