Is Obama overusing social media this election campaign?

08/28 2012 by Holly Pavlika | 0 comments

So President Obama blew away the competition in the last election through his innovative use of social media. His campaign has been held up as one of the best examples of social media. This year, it just doesn’t feel the same. Obama is leading the way over Mitt Romney in his use according to Pew Internet. He has pushed through 4 times the content over Mitt and has 9 social channels lit up versus Mitt’s 5. I know I get so many email updates every day and every web page I surf serves up an Obama ad to me. And Obama is tweeting upwards of 30 tweets a day? So much, I’ve started to tune out the noise. So how much do you think is too much content? Is it fine because it’s an all out war to win votes?
