Organizing for America Movement - Will it continue the momentum?
A few days before Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States, the president-elect announced the formation of the grass roots movement Organizing for America. All those interested in social media and online communities are watching closely as the successful online campaign of Obama is transformed into something new.
Will it have the same impact? Will contributors be as motivated and passionate as they were during the campaign? Will 10 million emails the campaign holds be able to influence the direction of the next President?
It will take time to tackle the critical issues Obama is faced with. Economy, Iraq, Oil, Environment will not be solved overnight, but how will those in the grassroots movement connected together with the tools of the internet accept this delay? In today’s online world, time and patience is not a virtue, people want to see instatn results.
