The Power of Twitter During the President’s #SOTU

A year ago, I thought the national craze over twitter was getting passed by Linkedin and lapped by Facebook. Last night during President Barack Obama’s 2012 State Of The Union (#SOTU), Twitter proved to be as strong as ever. Having direct access to our leaders and politicians provides more insight to our political system than ever before. No quotes, no summaries, only direct information from the representatives WE elected.

The image below shows the Twitter chatter throughout President Obama’s speech:
