Obama's Online Campaign

 Obama's Online Campaign

     During the president campaign of 2008 a local Chicago senator named Barack Obama used the web to gain and advantage against the Clinton's. The bulk of his campaign was a website called www.my.barackobama.com donating, organizing meet ups and formatting contact lists easier. While many other candidates had websites none where more professional or had as much of a high profile staff as Obama's. People like the co-founder of Facebook worked at the forefront of this website. With this tool the campaign earned 55 million in a single month as opposed to the Clinton. Now it is so famous that other candidates for future races are using it for their own campaigns.

    In addition he would use online phone banks and constantly post the campaign process on multiple social media sites. This raised more awareness to his website as well as increase customer  satisfaction. Customer service was done at 100's of calls an hour which maybe the site friendly for tech novices and professionals alike. This made more people vote and be based on more pressing matters than just which political party you were in.  It also raised his reputation which meant that he had more supporters even when the white house was against him.
