Well, you’re just wrong about facebook.
It started out as a tool for kids, and a lot of them use it, but it is a social NETWORKING site and in 2008 Obama used it to rally his troops in an unconventional campaign that seemed to work out okay for him.
I have hooked up with many conservative activists on facebook I would never have met in real life. It is just a helpful tool that allows like minded people to get together.
Times change and Sarah is staying abreast of the latest technologies. She reaches more with a note on facebook than the viewership of any cable or network news program.
Two words from her on facebook were nearly enough to derail Obamacare (death panels) and she alone has the ability to influence the public debate with a tweet or a facebook note.
She has spent this past year reintroducing herself and her family to America. This next year you are going to see the serious policy driven Sarah, as she will continue with speeches and editorials to draw a sharp contrast between Obama and what her administration would be doing.
Just wait, this is going to be fun to watch.
Some people have no idea what is in store...
Yes, FB is a networking site. It isn’t a place to refine one’s ability to communicate policy positions in a mutable environment. See my post above for further details.
My first reaction to Twitter was what a dumb childish name...but when the only news coming out of an Iranian uprising was on Twitter I knew I had to get with the program. Some people need to mothball their rotary phone and try to catch up~
