Instead, by bolting together social networking applications under the banner of a movement, they created an unforeseen force to raise money, organize locally, fight smear campaigns and get out the vote that helped them topple the Clinton machine and then John McCain and the Republicans." <BR/>I think Obama is an incredibly smart man. Additionally, you are completely correct when you say "There’s been a lot of talk – particularly in the wake of Barack Obama’s effective use of social networking—that one's social capital will continue to become more critical to one's success in society " After Obama's incredibly successful campaing many businesses and campaigns are turning to social media. <BR/><BR/>GREAT post! <BR/><BR/>Cheers, <BR/>KelleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
