The first signs of social networking corporatism has finally shed its light with Obama's partnership with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. On April 20th at 1:45 p.m, Obama is scheduled to stream live a town hall styled conference with a live audience comprised mostly of Facebook employees. This event signals the beginning of Obama's front using popular social networking sites in order to cater to Silicon Valley's finest.
Republican candidates should not discredit the potential benefits that Facebook would have in approaching the larger american public. The unfortunate twist in these new series of events is that Obama's campaign thus far is the first to approach this new platform and thus has the home field advantage. The young adults of the last election had a major impact in electing Obama to the presidency. If Republicans move too conservatively, they might end up losing one of the most important voters in the upcoming election.
