Katharine Q. Seelye of The New York Times had a good article on how Hillary Clinton — and others — are using blogs, twitter, and other approaches on the campaign trail. For example, Clinton…
“…held her first blogger-only conference call on Friday, phoning in to about 40 bloggers from the campaign trail in Oregon.And the campaign has stepped up its use of Twitter, a social-networking service that sends short, text-based posts, to make real-time calls to arms.”
Businesses and other organizations could take lessons on how American politicians use social computing for their benefit.
P.S. For all those asking “why use twitter?”, you now have at least one (of many) answers.
