Web 2.0 and the Politics
Today i have a business meeting with one of the 'ketua bahagian' just to share some ideas on the business and the movement of the new cabinet line-up. As we are having conversation and some discussion on the new-line up, I suddenly realised that the three of us are referring to the internet for the latest news and not television or any local newspaper. It shows that, Internet in no longer a second options for a timely information but it is gaining populartity from readers of all race and religious and of various ideological backgrounds.
As many of us know that the recently elected U.S President, Barak Obama has leveraged the latest in Web 2.0 technology, which is the catalyst for the new generation of Knowledge Management. Incorporating the use of social media such as blogs, YouTube and other social networking tools the Obama team has able to push out the latest news, information and knowledge about every aspect of the campaign. The use of technology in the U.S presidency campaign has increased the involvement of every supporter enabling them to feel a part of the campaign from the start to finish. This is what everyone know, but what we don't know is that it is not just stop there, the excitement of the use of technology make the supporters received text messages and emails at every turn and this encouraging them to hold parties with friends to "get out the vote", and donate their time.
Leveraging on the Internet (Knowledge Management) in a precise strategic manner that supports the mission of the Obama organisation is exactly how all organisation and political party should do. I believe that many political organisation in the world are following and study how Obama utilizing knowledge management and the internet to successfully run and energies a campaign. Undoubtedly this will become a new trend in Malaysian politics as well.
Knowledge Management has become an essential part of many organisation. In the coming weeks I will issues more on these existing programs. I welcome your comments.
