A few weeks ago, John McCain stated that he really doesn’t know how to use the Internet and needs help from his wife. After criticism, the presidential candidate said that he is beginning to learn the ways of being online. MeriTalk claims 46 percent of Generation Y believe the next president of the United States should stay in touch with the nation online.
MeriTalk is a new social networking site dedicated to talking about the U.S. government, in this case, the hottest topic is the quest for presidency. The new generation is getting their news from YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and Jon Stewart. Traditional sources like Brian Williams and Charles Gibson are not creditable in the Generation Y’s eyes. This new political social network is looking to tap into that interest.
Is Obama more appealing to the younger generation because of his use of the Internet?
