New Media including the internet, social networking sites, cell phones, and texting have had an effect on the election. Many people think that Myspace and Facebook are the channels by which voters are receiving information about the election but the big source is now apparently Twitter. Twitter is a political blog site. People blog about the campaign and other people can subscribe to the blog and even get text messages when the blog is updated.
Internet News is helping people find the most popular stories, because you can search for the most popular stories.
The Liberal side of politics uses the internet particularly well. Myspace and Facebook were important in the primary elections, and Obama used Youtube to help him a lot.
