Obama’s Web Site – A Grassroots Online Application

As I said in the previous post in this series, the Obama campaign understood the power of social networks so thoroughly that they made social networking technology the foundation of their campaign Web site. The primary purposes of the Obama campaign site were to 1) market the candidate, 2) raise funds, 3) connect supporters, 4) organize [...]

Blogging For Jobs – Interview Notes

I was quoted in an article on blogging to position yourself as an expert when trying to land internships and/or entry level positions. The piece by Heather Huhman, titled Start A Blog, Establish Credibility, was published on December 23 at Examiner.com. There is a lot of great advice in the article, so I encourage you [...]

The panel was held on November 30th, 2006, at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, [...]

Barack Obama’s Use Of Social Networking

Perhaps the single most important ingredient to Obama’s online success was his campaign’s thorough understanding of social networks. That understanding is unsurprising, given, as I said in a previous post, Chris Hughes, a former Facebook founder, ran Obama’s new media campaign. But it is probably the single most significant factor in the monumental strides the [...]
