The impression I get is that nobody in the ANC camp has bothered to actually strategise around how they're going to use the newmarketingsphere to influence constituents. <BR/>To use Youtube effectively you need a good DSL connection. How many of their members have that, and of those that have how many actually frequent Youtube?<BR/>myanc.org has "joke" written all over it.. (for a serious political party)<BR/>I'm not sure that being a follower on their Tweetstream will excite me in any way..<BR/><BR/>I would have figured out a way to connect with Phuthuma Nhleko or Knott-Craig's people to "work" the masses via the mobile networks. (NO NOT A .MOBI SITE) I'm sure 99% of ANC members own mobile phones.Arthur C.
