Watch Obama’s Complete Google+ Hangout with America [Video]

Neil Vidyarthi — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:10:26 +0000

President Obama completed his first live Google Hangout on Monday, and the results were pretty good. Google has put up the video, and you can see that whether you agree with the answers or not, the overall effect of having Americans from all over the country asking live questions to the President is a very effective way to see the President in a variety of situations. Unfortunately, for this particular interview the questions were strongly moderated and the questions were a bit too vague — the whole interview had a positive vibe and some tough questions weren’t addressed.

Will Marijuana Questions Top The Charts For Obama’s YouTube Interview Again This Year?

Megan O'Neill — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:12:59 +0000

Last January over 139,000 questions were submitted for a YouTube interview with President Obama. This year, YouTube is accepting question submissions for the next interview with the President, but this time they’re taking things to the next level—the interview will be conducted in a Google+ Hangout and participants that submit the top-voted questions will actually get to join the President in the Google+ Hangout and take part in the conversation live. Last year the most-asked questions were about the legalization of marijuana. Will the same happen this year?

Obama to Answer Your Questions on State of the Union Interview on Google+

Neil Vidyarthi — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:03:52 +0000

Following tomorrow’s crucial State of the Union address, President Barack Obama will participate in a Google Plus Hangout next week to ostensibly field questions about his speech. He’ll be addressing questions from users who will have until January 28th to submit their questions via video.

Yatterbox Bridging Politics to the Voters with Social Media

Kenna McHugh — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 15:20:52 +0000

“We first dreamed up the idea back in May 2010 during the UK General Election after stumbling upon a few websites that were aggregating Twitter accounts for all the UK MPs. Back then there were only about 180+ out of the total of 650 MPs using Twitter, so it was quite a niche thing to do. However we also knew that MPs were using more than just Twitter; they had set up Facebook Pages, were uploading photos and videos and also pushing out more traditional blogs. The problem was, as a user it was impossible to track and see all that content, even as a political hack; there was too much information spread across too many formats,” explains Matt Freckleton, CEO and Founder of Yatterbox, and recent University of York graduate.

Kelsey Blair — Mon, 02 May 2011 15:48:36 +0000

In his ocean-grave, bin Laden must be rolling over and over again. News of his capture and death first broke on social media, and the twitter-verse has exploded with reactions from the public – probably not the official, respectful, send-off, he would`ve envisioned. But, what role did social media really play in the announcement?
