The article by Micah Sifry shows us that You Tube was significant in getting Obama’s point across. Obama had 1,650 video’s on You Tube which translated into 14,548,809.05 hours compared to McCain’s 488,093.01 hours which is a huge difference. Obama had more than 14 million hours extra of publicity which goes to show you because he is our new President elect. The article also tells us that You Tube is free publicity compared to buying ad space on the tv. It is kind of push and pull complex where tv is a form of push and You Tube is the pull because people choose to watch You Tube. I think McCain missed the call on You Tube which was a big mistake.
Question 1. Do you think You Tube is instrumental in getting Obama elected?
