Politics and Social-Media
According to Time.com, recently elected Massachusetts senator, Scott Brown, used a wide array of social-media to win his seat in the U.S. Senate. “The Brown campaign employed iPhone apps, YouTube videos, hash tags and Facebook” to help fund-raising efforts and connect with supporters.
