Barack Obama had a formidable online presence during his quest for the White House, and he is once again turning to the Internet to communicate with the American public as president-elect.


President-elect Barack Obama has launched a Web site to chronicle his transition.

Within 24 hours of last week's historic vote, his transition team rolled out change.gov, a Web site that promises to be "your source for the latest news, events and announcements so that you can follow the setting up of the Obama administration."

The site is still a little thin on content, but there's a blog, a newsroom and a countdown to the January 20 inauguration.

Visitors can fill out a form to share their stories about what the election meant to them, or they can give their vision of an Obama presidency. They can even apply for a job.

www.change.gov?

A president who knows how to use the internet to his advantage in a way that manages to impress me. I hope some people (who don't know by now), the importance of having not only a website but one that achieves goals and results.

Another example of such is Queen Rania's Video Blog Campaign

Yeah!


Saw that of the Queen on BBC

Yeah,

Just imagine the number of ppl, both home and abroad that could be reached simply by having a blog/website. Imagine the rumors that could be quelled, etc.

We have a loooong way to go.

maybe 2020
