I'm involved in a local campaign here in dc and I often wonder how much we should rely on social media. One thing that you don't talk about in your post is the man power it takes keep up with social media and keep it fresh and interesting. <br><br>Another thing is that candidate don't have as much time as they used to, especially at the local level. I would like to hear what you would suggest on how they can better use social media.HenriThu, 29 May 2008 09:44:17 -0000http://socialtimes.disqus.com/local_politics_and_social_media/#comment-1574806Anthony, <br><br>First I would like to point that you spelled my name wrong, it's <a href="http://Makembe.com" rel="nofollow">Makembe.com</a>. Thanks for the shout out. <br><br>I think you bring up some good points. But as Riche, point out most local campaigns don't have have the resources (time and money) to invest in all that. We want to outreach to people, but we don't have months to build up the audience and the awareness that do. How would address those?HenriMon, 02 Jun 2008 15:19:37 -0000
