Comments on: Barack Obama Social Media Update - Lessons from the DNC http://barack20.com/barack-20-weekly-update-lessons-from-the-dnc/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:01:41 +0000 By: David Bullock http://barack20.com/barack-20-weekly-update-lessons-from-the-dnc/#comment-123 David Bullock Sat, 06 Dec 2008 03:11:58 +0000 http://barack20.com/?p=26#comment-123 Tique, Web 2.0 - Social Media is all about connection. Now getting to the revenue within social media is a whole other story. Brent and I have worked hard to figure out a revenue model for social media. The problem is that every market is a bit different. Anyway, getting online and setting up profiles is a good start. Now it is time to connect with people. Whether we admit it or not, the internet is only as good as our ability to connect and communicate with people. The internet itself does nothing except hold our ideas so that others can find them. You are very welcome. And thank you for your thoughts. Take Care, David B. Tique,

Now it is time to connect with people. Whether we admit it or not, the internet is only as good as our ability to connect and communicate with people. The internet itself does nothing except hold our ideas so that others can find them.

I am on linkedin, facebook, etc, etc. with profiles etc. but what to do next to generate a presence and generate revenue is what I am working on learning now. Thank you for your good work, help, & generosity, Tique Lee Mr. Bullock,

Thank you. This illustrates a fundatmental shift in the way we communicate and how are being communicated to. Point-to-Point, One-to-One is a reality now. We are in the age of instant information. The companies that embrace this idea will surely capitalize. We are seeing this being used in the campaign masterfully. The question is can and will the "larger business community" not only embrace but properly depoy the technology. True. These next few years will be exciting for sure. - David Bullock Michael:

Unreal. When we introduced Interlinked Media to the United States market in July of 2006, we (the USA) were only doing about 12 billion messages per month in the aggregate. When we convinced the Hillary Clinton campaign that they should be using text messages as a primary means of connecting with their voters, that number had "swollen" to nearly 18 billion messages per month. Now we have these numbers 75 billion messages for June…a 6 fold increase over when we started. Is there any doubt that this medium is going to be around for a while? From Presidential campaigns to Brands it has been great fun to be working at the forefront of this technology. I can only imagine what the next three years will bring!
