The White House an Social Media
I wrote an email about the White House to social media tycoon Mitch Joel, Six Pixels of Separation.
Mitch,
Long time reader/listener looking forward to your new book.
My question is regarding the White House and Social Media. Given the success of President Obama online and his presence in social media during his campaign, what will happen as he leaves the White House? Yes, this might be premature but it seems relevant.
My first thoughts are that politics with social media is here to stay but a transition of parties might get ugly. Would the content on whitehouse.gov just keep building? Will he transfer his massive database to his successor? Will he hand over his Twitter account? I know you will have some thoughtful insight even though you are a raging cannuck. Spell check that for me.
Sincerely,
Joseph
He responded with a podcast response. He is always insightful and he should volunteer to be my social media mentor. This topic will be a follow up response/blog post. You can see the iPhone version of his website below, awesome.
