Just my musings.

By Amandda from Minneapolis, MN - Dec 2nd, 2008 at 9:25 pm EST

I'm doing a research paper for my English II course on the innovative use of social media (Facebook, Myspace, Youtube, my.barackobama.com, etc) in the Obama campaign, and the effect it'll have on future political campaigns. For the fieldwork section of my paper I've decided to run a survey past people on various social networking sites.

If you could take a little bit of time to answer even just a few of my questions it would be greatly appreciated.

1.) How do you think the use of social media has helped the Obama campaign?

2.) Was the accessability of information about Obama on the internet helpful for you when deciding which candidate you would support?

3.) Are you involved with the Obama campaign on any other social networking sites? If yes, which ones?

4.) Have you contributed to the Obama campaign (donations, volunteering, spreading the word, etc.)? If yes, how, and did the internet and/or social media make it easier for you to get involved?

5.) Do you think that internet campaigning helped Obama reach voters?

6.) Do you think that in the future more candidates will use the internet and social media extensively in their campaigns?

Again, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
