Barack Obama became the 44th American President today. He is the first African American to be appointed as president. Obama  thinking will bring creativity to America!

Barack’s strategy includes using web 2.0 to share information using popular social media tools such as facebook and Youtube for his weekly address, web 2.0 was also a major force in his bid for president.

Good luck Barack!

Well this week we’ve just seen how social media has changed the world.

I’m a big fan of David Meerman Scott’s blog – you can real all about exactly what can be learned from the Obama campaign. It’s also worth reading his free ebook New Rules of Marketing. Word of mouse marketing really is the way forward!
