However I'm still left wondering if it truly can be 'social media engagement' when there is little to no interaction back from the candidate or even the candidate's people. Is Obama using social media tools in a better way to raise money and create community awareness for himself; yes! Will he continue to engage with that community in this manner after he is elected President; not sure. And therein lies the rub for me since social media is continuous and evolving, not one-way and abruptly ends when the person gets what they want. Perhaps I'm being too literal in this regard or simply pessimistic? Either way, thanks for getting my brain functioning this morning! /kff I believe the analogy is apt and I completely agree with you around the use of micro trends.
