Social Media and 2008 Canadian Election: A Conversation with Amber Mac

This is the latest in a series of posts examining social media, social networking and how the tools are being used in the 2008 Canadian Federal Election Campaign.

I am working on an article about social media and the Canadian campaign for 24hrs this week. I’ve been hitting up some of the best SocMed minds in the country, this afternoon I got to grab 5 minutes out of Amber Mac’s day and we chatted about how Obama is using social media vs the Canadian parties.

Our conclusion – nice try Canada, but it’s too little and waaaaay too late.

  • I agree that this Web 2.0 stuff is mediocre at best. Obama rally shows us how it's done.
  • This series of posts naively presupposes that social media systems are an efficient method for communicating with actual voters.
