OBAMAZATION -THE SOCIAL CONNECT

OBAMAZATION

EVERYONE WANTS TO BE CONNECTED TO THE WORLD

Obama came and the social network was bustling with opinions from all the corners.The opinions were flooded on each and every step Obama was taking.

CAMPAIGN THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORK

Pictures of Barack Obama and Michele Obama dancing with the kids were fluttering around the popular social network such as Facebook.Every one was talking about him.Funny videos were also posted on the network such as dressing obama in indian atire.But before I share further views Obama connection particularly with Facebook sets back few years ago.In year 2008 he used the platform to share his concern over United states and ran a campaign on Facebook under his name .He got connected to thousands of people with whom he appealed about change in America and garnered support from them.Those were the pages of year 2008.Even after his win he continued to to be in connection with his million of his followers.

Before he kickstarted his Asia tour he greeted all Indians the best wishes of Diwali .The statement of the President for the visit is available on His facebook page which is regulated and run by grassroad organization.

Barack Obama said -To those celebrating Diwali in India, I look forward to visiting you over the next few days. And to all those who will celebrate this joyous occasion on Friday, I wish you, your families, and loved ones happy Diwali and Saal Mubarak.

 Such updates are common among masses but when The president writes 'saal mubarak' a Hindi term for Happy new year he will definitely get the best support from various dimension particularly Indians.
Indians were more than please to read such updates.In India millions of people are connected to Facebook and Twitter .It has become the fashion statement for them and a big source to know about the events around the world.

what are they conversing?-can be a discussion on social network

Every move of President Obama and first lady Michele Obama was available on various pages on Facebook and Twitter.People were hooked to pages and commenting to various incident such as what did Michele bought from the craft bazar or how did Obama felt talking to farmers via video conference The most popular was the dancing with kids which was really completed the frame of the visit.Indians really care for their guest that even what Obama is eating there was discussion page on that also.Where is he going, why is he going what he is going to say next such question and discussions have jammed the pipe of social network.The funny part is everyone wants to comment and share their views.I wont say its about facebook or twitter freaks buts thats the nature of all Indians,a very complex one full of opinions whether u want it or not you will get to hear vibrant advices and views even if its not their business.the whole discussion in no time can become a fussy out here in India.
For instance example on a social network Ayush Garg, a media student, typed, “Welcome to India Obamaji and what a diplomatic speech. Nice. You are a true American”. 

They were reacting as if this visit is kind of a revolution.lot of expectation were sprawling among the masses.I agree that the president was at his best when he delivered the speech at The Parliament intact this was his best foreign visit so far during his Presidency but that doesn't qualify this visit to be the revolution phenomenon.Its not only that positive wave flourish through web page, there are communities page where Obama faces hard criticism as well.

It was impossible for a single Indian to be unaware of Obama visit because of extended spectrum of news media and digital media.but on other hand Facebook in United states was a calm affair.Many Americans hardly care to discuss such forums on social network.Many ignored the visit.The image of India out in US is different one and people do not realize the significance of such visit as India do.This shows how social network is divided among the masses.People over there give less often views than Indians on such issues.According to India This was the most significant visit of any US President.But Americans didn't view this as important. In fact many called it as a holiday trip or a massive disaster.Perhaps both countries have different viewpoint towards this issue.
This is not only confined to Obama but the Facebook traffic for Obama visit were really high which created him as the favorite topic for discussion among Indians a lot.

Even as I am writing this blog may be I am also gripped in this so called Obamazation.
