What Obama’s Campaign can teach you about Marketing in 2009
As the campaign progressed many pundits were taken aback by the way in which the candidate had managed to use the net to mobilize supporters in a way never seen before.

Achievable Goals for 2009: The Plan of Attack

* Create a social media footprint (currently on 0 [Zero] sites)
* Network, Network, and more Networking
