President Obama to Hold First Twitter Town Hall
President Obama announced he would be utilizing social media in a new way and he’s starting by holding a live town hall meeting using Twitter. The town hall will take place live on July 6 at 2p.m. ET.
During the town hall President Obama will answer questions about the economy and jobs during a live webcast. Questions can be submitted via the askobama.twitter.com website or by using the hashtag #AskObama.
There is an official Twitter account for the town hall, @townhall that users can follow to get more updates. Twitter designed and hosted the website for the event, which is the most appropriate digital way to engage the community. Expect to see more social media initiatives such as this one as 2012 elections approach.
