hi! i’m working on a paper about social network campaign strategy, when i came across this blog. really it is somewhat disappointing to see some politicians are only posting their prs and speeches which are already accessible in some other sites. but i have to give credit to chiz coz i think his SNCS is more interactive when he started his own. however, i find myself frowning at the idea of politicians (including chiz) holding multiple accounts in different social media sites. i think its no longer realistic and transparent.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the comment. What’s interesting to note is that almost all the politicians are missing this point. They don’t understand how to fully maximize the web and how to communicate with online communities.

If you check the Facebook accounts of the Senators, the pictures of them in very compromising positions or those that show their human side more gets all the comments. Pictures of them shaking hands with dignitaries barely get noticed at all.

By the way, I checked your blog and I loved the concept man. I’m thinking of forming a New Media Filipino Blog Network – if you’re interested we can work on that in the coming months ahead.

Cheers bro!

Hi Carlo! I had a similar blog post about this one and I absolutely agree with your insights. For politicians who are looking into using social media in doing their campaigns, they should make their materials more human. After all, social media is about human interaction.

I’ve seen Mr. Roilo Golez in Twitter and frankly speaking, the guy behind the account doesn’t get it yet.

Thanks and have a great day Carlo!
