Social Media Analysis of the Presidential Campaign: Obama asks your opinion on LinkedIn

Have you logged into your LinkedIn Account today?

Pay attention because Candidate for President Barack Obama wants to know: How do we keep America Competitive in the Years Ahead?

Perhaps more interesting are the answers.

Education, Taxes, Infrastructure...lot's of great options.

I wonder if he will listen. More importantly is the use of LinkedIn by a candidate to ask these kinds of questions -- much different audience than the wide open web and I bet if they did this same question on MySpace of Facebook they'd get radically different answers! Don't believe me? Check out dana boyd's work on social networks!

Go the the Obama site, though and you won't know he's asking the question. Interesting.
