What Obama taught me about social media

I’m happy to bring to your attention a brand new  article on bplans.com by one of our newest contributors, Maisha Walker.

Maisha is the Founder & President of message medium, a 10-year old New York City Internet Strategy firm that focuses exclusively on Small Businesses.  You can follow Maisha on Twitter or learn about her upcoming Web site and Internet Marketing Classes.

She will be a regular contributor to Bplans.com and the Business in General blog over the next several months. And her first article on social media marketing is one not to be missed.

“I was fascinated by the analysis of the Obama campaign. In many ways, Obama’s campaign and its success is a big, bright, “LCD sign” of the times. New media has come of age in a very public way.”

Enjoy! And welcome, Maisha!
