Politics & Social Media

It was good to see Obama on twitter, But it’s great to see that Indian Politicians are making use of Web 2.0.

Shashi Tharoor, Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi are the few who realized the real value of Social Media. Its is great way for our politicians to reach out to the citizens and give opinions on matters that are important. Even though the number on followers of our politicians are not as high as Obama & McCain, its just great to see Twitter being used by our Nation heads.

Twitter & Facebook are great platforms for spreading a message or giving an update as it reaches out to a network of so many people. Our politicians have realized that there is more than a mike on a stage now a days to spread a message.

Some people say Politics and Social Media aren’t a good mix. All politicians want is to spread their message, doesn’t Social Media enhance that?
