Barack Obama’s 2008 Presidential Campaign has been an Internet/Social Media darling. His website has earned his campaign grassroots financial support, I am a member of their email list I think I get at least an email a day if not more, and he is also the most followed person on Twitter.com.
So I thought it was pretty cool that he was going to announce via Text Message to his supporters his choice for Vice President before announcing it to the press. The only problem… is he ended up getting scooped by mainstream media. Tonight CNN is reporting Obama has selected Joseph Biden for he running mate. So Barack where is my text message?
Mainstream Media: 1 – Social Media: 0
So how will this be perceived? In my opinion, the problem with making promises is failing to deliver on them.
