I Think Using Social Media on the Internet is the Future of professionial communication, because Obama used it at a Debate. (On July 6 2011.)

Obama, the President Of The United States Of America, Tweeted Live, during a political debate.


Reuters) - "U.S. President Barack Obama took to Twitter on Wednesday to press his economic agenda, using the popular social media site to tweak Republicans and advocate for a deal to reduce the deficit."


I think that using Social Media, such as Facebook and Twitter, can now be see as forms of "professionial Communication." In the future, instead of politicians flying around the world for G8, or G20 meetings, maybe virtual meetings can be made over the Internet, through Twitter, Facebook or webcams.


One sentence on the website says: "The White House's @whitehouse account has some 2.25 million followers." This means that politicians can use the internet to their advantage, in political debates.

  1. As a person who dislikes Facebook, I have to disagree. I believe that debating or communicating through on-line media is extremely impersonal, lacks emotion, and the human aspect of discussions and passion towards a subject. It is really easy to hide behind a computer and pretend to be someone you are not, and the fact that it is really easy to ignore responses, makes these debates even more difficult to arrive at a conclusion towards a subject...
