    So the White House is taking a sensible multi-pronged approach to reaching Ghanaians. The blend includes SMS -- for both sending messages to the President and getting speech highlights -- and radio -- of both Obama's remarks and his responses to mobile messages, fleshed out with Twitter, Facebook, and live video streaming components.

    Facebook Connect could ultimately give political campaigns more viral exposure for their online efforts. Campaign supporters who join Mr. Bloomberg's social network can easily invite their friends to join them in various online activities; if they sign up to attend a political event, that gets transferred back to Facebook too. Users are presented with options to withhold any and all of this information from Facebook if they wish.

    I've also been arguing that for journalists, saying what you don't know is becoming as important as saying what you know. That is all the more critical as misinformation and rumor can spread at the speed of information online. So I imagine a news organiza

  • 1. News & Events Obviously, the first step is to use Twitter for press releases, news & events. It only adds an extra communication channel next to the local newspaper, website and RSS feed.
  • 4. Transportation The Oregon Department of Transport (@oregondot) has been doing a great job by tweeting on road conditions, traffic jams, weather and travel information. They also have a great safety tip: Don’t Tweet ‘n Drive!

  • The City of Regina used Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to provide information on the 2009 civic election and better engage citizens in the process. As candidates submitted their papers a ‘tweet’ went out to let people know. It seems like one way to overcome the issue of getting the media to pay attention, and to go straight to your citizens with the news. On Election Day, Twitter acted as the most direct channel for the vote results. Unfortunately, they took their Twitter page offline.

  • If this was meant to be a public conversation, why take so few questions from the web? Was the point here to give Facebook employees a chance to interact with the president, while we watch? Did it really make sense to have Zuckerberg, the owner of the platform, ask the questions (and, it seems, possibly pick them)? For all those people newly paying attention, you have to wonder whether they were encouraged to come back and do it again. In a bit of bad timing for both the White House and Facebook, this happened to be the day that all over the news were comments of a Facebook staffer suggesting that perhaps they had been allowing "too much, maybe, free speech" in countries not accustomed to the free flow of information we enjoy here in the States.

  • In fact, the campaign of President Barack Obama, and then the Mitt Romney team, released Facebook applications to aid in the effort to get their supporters to the polls. And there are myriad apps by third parties that are aiming to do the same.

  • what made MyBO revolutionary, and what puts it in the same category as World Without Oil, is that it also asked participants to engage in non-digital, non-virtual activity
  • Perhaps the biggest problem of MyBO as a game was its failure to scale. It was disheartening to log in and see that you were in 266,442nd place
  • But the system would have been far more motivating if your cohort group was more local: all Obama supporters in your state, city, or your MyBO groups.
