John Edwards utilizing YouTube
A lot of us consider we are living in the age of Digg (Digg Generation term was coined for that), but have you ever consider instead of Digg we are YouTube generation. Us presidential candidate John Edwards used YouTube to announce his run for presidency. This will be the first time in history a candidate giving official statement via a video sharing site.
Though i am not in favor of making social networking a political battlefield, but i certainly like when future leaders embrace technology rather then drifting away from it. In 2004, Edwards was the moderate southern senator who promoted middle class tax cuts and tried to position himself as the best general election alternative to
President Bush. This time around, Edwards didn’t mention one word about his personal story. He talked less about what he wanted to do as president and more about how everyone can change the country.
Way to go Edwards, Who wants another relic in White House.
