42,126 questions for Obama

// March 26th, 2009 // Social Media

A friend of mine is running social media for the Obama administration. They’ve invited the community to contribute questions to an online town hall in the US tomorrow. So far, 41,306 people have asked 42,126 questions and cast 1,556,109 votes on which questions Obama should answer.

Wow. Has Obama succeeded in building an online political dialogue with the US electorate that will last beyond the current economic crisis? I sure hope so. We should all be watching and learning from what works and what doesn’t. This could be the world’s biggest e-government taking its first baby steps.
