Obama

"Tens of thousands of young people downloaded voter-registration forms on Facebook; when a supporter used Obama's phone-bank tool to call undecided voters, it appeared in her friend feed." By Michael Learmonth

With social networking sites be so popular, it is no wonder Obama used this as a tool during his campaign. He potentially won the election because of how many millions if not billions of people he reached out to with using Facebook or Myspace. There is so much potential to get your name out there with these sites. There have been many musical artist who became famous because they posted their music to their myspace page and would link it to music producers to listen to. Some might say it replaced sending a recording on a tape of your music to music producers.
With these sites being so easy to keep in touch with family and friends. You have to be careful about what you post to them. Do not post any personnel information you do not want the whole world to know. If you do your research you can easily start a business or advertise on these sites and be seen by millions of people. The possibilities are endless with what you can do on Myspace or Facebook. President Obama was very smart for using this as a way to reach out and touch people for their support during his campaign.
