Why The IT Community Should Be Proud of Our New President in America - Barack Obama!

I believe the IT community around the world should be proud of the new President-Elect of the United States of America, Barack Obama, because he made people young and old more comfortable with the use of technology, which make our mission easier. He took advantage of every technology available to him and used it very effectively to win this election. He used blogs, text messaging, chat rooms, collaboration spaces, myspace, facebook, twitter and online advertising and video sites like youtube unlike any other President in history to reach the young and even the old. He did a remarkable job of promoting technology and how it can be used effective. Every company in the world should have seen this and thought about ideas how they can use technology to further their brand.

I would not be surprised to see a jump in IT spending among companies worldwide behind this.

I just hope he keeps his website going because it is truly a good example of what can be done on the web and how a website can be used as a marketing tool.

A majority of my career has been in web application development and all I can say when I see Obama website is WOW!

Until next time...
