I agree he barely scratched the surface of social media, however he did more than any other candidate ever did and he completely understood where he needed to be to "reach the people where they are."

What I would find interesting is if he carries this into the White House. Will he be the first President to keep the American people in the loop via all of the social media profiles he had set up for his campaign in the first place?

I also disagree that blogging is not dead, if anything all of the social media tools out there just enhance the blogging experience and provide more layers of engagement.

I do think the face of blogging is evolving and by this I mean, blogging is tending to look more digital magazine-like than say your ordinary Blogger.com blog. More niche bloggers are also beginning to establish editorial calendars or at least following a general timeline for posts. However, the voice of these bloggers remains the same and their readership even more cemented than before.
