 ** Put social media to work for you  **  Social media has evolved into a multi-level propaganda machine. Facebook, twitter, blogs and other online social mediums can launch a person or any given object into the mainstream. Take for example the now super famous, Justin Beiber, he had a few videos on YouTube singing song, and now boom, he is every little girls dream. Beiber became an online phenomenon to the point that two of the most popular music icons were fighting to sign him (Justin Timberlake and Usher). What made him famous aside from his talent…was the simplicity and organized channel, the image he carried on every video. Rick Spence on the Financial Post exemplifies the rules of a successful social media on the article “Put Social Media to Work For You” (Financial Post). Naheed Nenshi a candidate running for Mayor in Calgary came from behind to win the candidacy mostly due to his excellent use of social mediums. Nanshi used twitter, Facebook, and his blog to reveal his political agenda as well as his every day plans. I believe by doing this in an organized and fun way he spoke to his audience with more honesty than other candidates. Social Mediums really helped Nenshi connect with his followers today a face to face conversation seems complicated and awkward while if we speak through twitter or facebook walls one can trace back conversations making it more factual, honest and true. Soon all political campaigns will run on this structure of social mediums and virtual interactions will be the foundation of the new structure. Works Cited Spence, Rick.
