Since this blog is centered around social media, let's take a look at the difference in social media use from the 2008 election to this years election. The info-graph below explains it all.
According to the info-graph, there are 100 million more Facebook users in 2012 than in 2008, 20 million more Twitter users than in 2008, and 57 million more online video viewers than in 2008.
Since social media has grown rapidly within the last couple of years, it is vital that the presidential candidates use social media to help them win the election.
According to MSNBC, "Republican Tim Pawlenty disclosed his 2012 presidential aspirations on Facebook. Rival Mitt Romney did it with a tweet. President Barack Obama kicked off his re-election bid with a digital video emailed to the 13 million online backers who helped power his historic campaign in 2008".
