Of course Obama had 5828% more pages indexed that McCain. Obama was openly backed by Eric Schmidt. It seems like a no brainer to me.

I think the whole world has just woken up to the power of social media optimisation.

It will never be the same again. This has in a funny way validated the importance of the net as now a mainstream medium, no longer second fiddle to tv and radio.

I am personally a republican, But I believe that Obama was more inspirational and incited more curiosity because hes not the “norm” when it comes to leaders. Not saying he is bad, he is very interesting and very eloquent.

Yep, that looks about right. I think it’s important to note also the vigor with which the Obama supporters both promoted their candidate and also attacked the McCain camp.

If anyone happened to be participating in Twitter’s election pages, they know what I mean.

I don’t know for sure whether or not Obama’s camp had plants that sat on there all day posting negative comments towards McCain and Palin (if they didn’t, it sure did seem like it) – regardless, it would be well worth every penny for them to have done it.

What would it take, realistically? 10-20 people in shifts with 3 or 4 different twitter logins and you could DOMINATE pretty much any social media forum. Way more effective than TV ads.

This is great, I thought I was the only one that noticed Obama’s superior online marketing approach. Obama had PPC ads running with a search tool to find out where you can vote for almost every city. Brilliant is all I’m going to say.
