Title: Alpha male is online political beta
Author(s): Salomon, Mandy
Abstract: Obama is not the first politician to harness the internet. But he has done it more comprehensively and with a deeper understanding than most other American politicians. From his presence on Twitter, to his decision to eschew the iPhone for his humble BlackBerry, this is a politician who would appear to know his alpha from his beta. Obama is one digital dude.
