Obama's Online Following


Now that Obama has this list of millions of e-mails and a following all over the internet, what will he do next?


Well, he has already created a new Web site: http://www.change.gov/. I think this site is brilliant with a section for suggestions, a blog, and an area to tell your personal election day story! Gives Americans the feeling of closeness to Obama and the feeling that he is really listening to them.


The interactivity and openness of the internet can definitely benefit Obama in a lot of ways like this article in the Washington Post points out. However, it could be a negative if he makes anyone upset during his term. This gives them an outlet to react and criticize on. Lets hope it doesn't turn out like that but either way, that's what is so great about the internet! It makes Obama have to be more accountable for what he promises and does.
