The US candidate for the Democratic Party, Barack Obama has come up with yet another idea of how to getting the Americans’ votes.
The newest campaign gadget is the iPhone; he is thus aiming to attract the votes of the younger population. The special software was developed in just a few weeks by volunteering supporters and allows Obama’s “fans” from all over the US to interact and unite forces.
The “Call Friends” option is not only meant to attract voters, but also keep the users in closer contact with their families and fellow supporters in the remaining month until the elections.
The software also allows keeping a track on which of your contacts will be supporting Obama and sending them a reminder on the big day.
Most importantly, the iPhone makes it even easier for the supporters to be fully informed of the latest updates regarding the campaign; they will be able to access a variety of campaign materials in order to convince others of what they see as obvious and logical: that Obama must become the next US president.
This new campaign technique comes to show that Obama sees technology as very important for him and for the whole American people.
