Barack Obama Hedon Blog JigZone Tribute
This is not so much a tribute to US President Obama, rather it is dedicated to his social media presence which helped secure his victory to the White House in November 2008.
I recently followed Barack Obama on Twitter and jested “I wonder if he’ll follow me!?” but – absolutely amazingly later – I received an e-mail telling me @BarackObama was following me! WOW !!
Alright I know it’s not him personally; and I know his Twitter site is following 530,000 others – but hey come on! It must surely rate 11 on a scale of 1-10 for Twitter followers!?
You never know – somewhere in the cooridors of world power – someone in the US administration is reading one of the Hedon Blog posts (which are sent automatically to Twitter). There’s a thought!
