President Barack Obama’s administration linked the official White House website to various social sites such as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.
During his campaign for president, Obama had already shown himself to be attuned to new media like YouTube, and he took steps to continue use of a personal mobile device — specially secured — after being elected.
This move also gives ordinary people more ways to communicate with the White House through comments on the administration’s Facebook page. Some analysts mused that because the comments left on the Facebook page don’t appear directly on whitehouse.gov, the administration still maintains some protective distance from them.
