There’s no doubt that the unprecedented win of Barack Obama to the presidency in America against his political rival John McCain was also because of the wide support of people who use social media networking sites to actively campaign for Obama.

Twitter alone established special pages just for the “US presidential elections 2008” and the amazing thing that happened were the millions of Americans and non-Americans who responded to the project, such posting their support for Obama, issuing positive comments and more tweets to support the Obama candidacy. This also shows how important social media plays an important role nowadays in the developments of the region, most especially during election that is always awaited by all people of the world.

Even Facebook users associated with him also supported Obama down to the last minute of the campaign trail. This also means Obama has also captured many kinds of audience and not only businessmen and professionals.

I remember few weeks ago over Social Spark there were some opportunities to write about Obama but I was not only lucky, or maybe those opportunities were only for people living in America. I don’t know if the said campaigns came from Obama’s headquarters or from his supporters. That campaign certainly helped since if there were hundreds of opportunities it also means hundreds of weblogs where Obama articles were also posted. I’m sure it also gained thousands of links most especially if the websites have hundreds of followers every day.

Indeed, social media networking nowadays is really helpful – whether you are in business, associations or politicians who want to gain support from the mass base of readers. You only need to consult the experts in online marketing and you can get what you want.

Obama’s win is also history for the American people. He is the first black to become president of the United States of America. Now, many Americans are hoping he could make America great again by initiating very laudable measures helping the economy in America bounce back and many more.

For President-elect Barack Obama, my congratulations! You’re the man to watch in America.
