I believe Obama won: Facebook knew it before

I am writing this post while I am in New York for the Ad:Tech conference.  It is 9pm in New York and sitting on my bed I am zapping from CNN to ABC and FOX trying to gather information about who is going to be the new American President.

Then I think of Facebook and realized that there is an official page dedicated to the US election and that a stunning over 4 million people have already expressed their vote…

so who is the President Mr Zuckerberg? I imagine you sitting at home knowing you have access to more qualified expressions of vote that any other exit poll company in the World.

I have not investigated the reasons why Facebook is not releasing in real time the expression of votes received but I guess it it linked to US laws…still what a powerful platform Facebook has become in such a short perion of time.

Well congratulations Mr President Obama. Not only you are probably (did not check this either) the youngest and first black person to become President of the United Stated but you have also reached a 100 years record in people who went to vote. I believe this is also due to the importance of Internet in your communication strategy that brought a lot of young americans closer to politics.

You started with a “Yes we can”

Now it is time to prove us that you really can make things better. Good luck!
