"How Obama Really did it"

     Social networking has become an essential part in communicating with other people. Obama's social networking site known as MyBO was very helpful in Barrack Obama's campaign as it helped raises millions of dollars in a single month and help communicate with people to help spread the importance of voting. It is the fastest and efficient way to reach out to a large amount of people at once. Barrack Obama used these social networks to interact with people who really weren't politically active. He definitely capitalized on the use of technology as shown by him becoming president of the United States.
     "Americans are more able to access media-rich content online: 55 percent have broadband Internet connections at home."( Most people these days use some form of social network or the internet as the world is becoming more technological. Many of the 2008 candidates also had websites and used social networks for their campaign. However, Obama and his team put these social network technologies at the center of his campaign. According to the article he, created the ultimate online political machine. Operations like this are needed to get millions of people to vote for you. In fact, technology is probably needed for anyone to get known. Look at all of the viral videos we see now. Without this sort of technology we wouldn't know about any of the things that we see on social media. You could even say that we need it to keep up with the rest of society and know what is going on in the world around us. Barrack Obama took full advantage of this and it resulted in a positive outcome.
