Facebook and politics

From my presentation I told how many politicians have used Facebook as a tool to promote their presidential campaigns. I thought it was a really interesting way of having a public sphere where Facebook members can make their own groups about politicians and respond to the different types of content on certain candidate sites. Facebook members can post on walls, view photos, watch Youtube videos, read notes, and view other content from candidates. Here's an article from CNN that talks about how influential Facebook has become for the presidential elections.
