According to “How Obama Tapped Into Social Networks’ Power” by David Carr, he mentioned that “by bolting together social networking applications under the banner of a movement, they created an unforeseen force to raise money, organize locally, fight smear campaigns and get out the vote that helped them topple the Clinton machine and then John McCain and the Republicans.” Social networking not only help individuals, they also provide opportunities to professional online networking, such as LinkedIn.
