David Bul­lock, social media strate­gist and co-author of Barack 2.0.

Social media strate­gist and co-author of Barack 2.0, David Bul­lock, joins Kym on Word­Cast Con­ver­sa­tions this week to talk about the social media epi­demic we’re see­ing around the Inter­net today, the bur­geon­ing social media phe­nom­e­non, and how to har­ness its influ­en­tial power for your own busi­ness success.

Guest: David Bul­lock, co-author of the book Barack 2.0 that high­lights the ways social media impacted Barack Obama’s 2008 pres­i­den­tial campaign

• Barack Obama used Twit­ter, Face­book, and other social media ser­vices in his cam­paign and it was a major key to suc­cess. David tells us how and why.
• The story behind Barack 2.0
• Why are Twit­ter and Face­book so powerful?
• Barack 2.0 was pub­lished through Lulu. David explains why a tra­di­tional pub­lisher was not needed.

David also took some time to explain what the future of social media will be inside and out­side of pol­i­tics, and detailed how Barack Obama’s social media strate­gies can be applied to your own busi­ness, brand, or organization.

We also talked with David about his own expe­ri­ences and his per­sonal story through­out all of his work. High points, low points, expe­ri­ences that taught him lessons both good and bad, and what we can expect from him in the future.
