July 2009, the security in second life goes up. Why? Barack Obama will be appearing in second life.
He will be giving a speech in Ghana on July 11, which will be shown live in second life. In 2006 during an interview with a Chinese businesses woman Ailin Graef, which was also shown live in second life, flying penises entered the screen. To avoid such situations with Obama, the security goes up.
Since Obama became president of the USA, he uses all kinds of social network. It is the new way to stay in touch with big audiences.
During and after the elections, he did not just use second life. He was, and is still, using social media like Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, Flicker, MySpace and YouTube.
On Facebook, President Obama has about 7 million fans. Twitter, he has over 2,7 million followers. Also on YouTube he is very popular. His own YouTube channel has been viewed over 22 million times, he has over 200.000 people following him, and he has posted 1877 videos.
Obama is popular, and I think it is partly because he reaches everyone. He uses the media very well. Social media helped Obama to win the elections.
So can President Obama stay in touch with big audiences? Yes he can!
