The New White House
I was impressed with the Obama administration since the beginning of their political career, and running their race. I don’t want to talk with you about the politic, since I was not a good guy on it, let’s talk about how Obama changed the way politics work through the good use of technologies and website, and design. As you knew, they were used the social network websites as their political moves, including are Facebook, Twitter, and lots other social websites. Not to say how they design the website of the old Barack Obama campaign. Well, from the beginning, I knew this guy is different, not about race or physical attributes, but he is different than everybody else on how he take care his campaign, his moves on transitions, and now how he take care about the website of White House.
Let’s take a look a difference at how the new White House website from Bush era from this Flickr picture.
It just very different, is it? That’s the meaning of good communication, or better, a new good guy compared to the old guy :) For your information, the website is launched at the very day when he is inaugurated on Jan 20. What’s more, they also launches twitter account @whitehouse_gov, so you fellows can track how the US’ government works. Is that awesome? I don’t know about whether it needs another social networking site, like Facebook. Tough I feels it silly. You don’t need Facebook for presidency social networking, twitter just works for updating (and may be discussing with the folks). Amazing work.
Do you know what? I heard some local Indonesian political parties or house candidates interested to run their campaign, just like Obama. What? I am absolutely sure you can’t do that. It just very different, and for several months? If someone said you can, they are just wants to empty your deep pocket (if yours are deep enough).
