When I see politicians use social media, I usually get pissed off because I feel like I’m getting talked down to. As you said it’s not genuine. The candidates think social media is hip and cool and will woo the support of the youngin’s. I look forward to seeing a candidate who will take it seriously.

Yeah, it’s a shame in general, and on Twitter. Real potential for a day in the life of kind of tweeting. Thanks for coming by Jake and Lauren.

This time last year, Dallas SMC discussed social media and politics. Supposedly, social media would define the the election. I am sticking to original thought…You can’t engineer naturalness. Until candidates get it the posts will be bland and canned.

Great post – I think for the campaign sites and blogs themselves, they are already set where they are going to be in terms of search and social integration. The work that they have done in the past 18 months has pretty much determined where they are now and will be going forward, most of them do not leverage Search and Social that well AT ALL. Twitter is one thing that they should all focus on going forward in the primaries for it’s “real time” capabilities.
