The Twittering Machine (1922)-Paul Klee<\/span><\/p>\n<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

The news has been covering the testy exchange between Obama and CNN’s Ed Henry. \u00a0Henry asked a series of questions, including one of why the Obama himself wasn’t immediately outraged about the AIG bonuses. \u00a0Barack responded by saying he likes to know what he’s talking about before he speaks. \u00a0Sure, the press is covering it, but the press is also covering<\/a><\/strong> how Twitterers are reacting to these stories and video clips.<\/p>\n

You can see for yourself by searching on Twitter:\u00a0Obama Ed Henry<\/a>. \u00a0On Wednesday, March 25, as of 11:44 EDT, the responses were trending towards Obama, with many tweets using the term “smackdown.”<\/p>\n

There are nuances of communication that are more in the open now more than ever. \u00a0The ability for Web 2.0 multimedia to be shared quickly can help to provide context for these exchanges, as well as providing users with a fora for getting their views out there. \u00a0I would even argue that these technologies can even gauge the American zeitgeist to a certain extent.<\/p>\n

I thought it was funny that at the end AC quipped, “you can nurse your wounds tonight, Ed.”<\/p>\n

Will these 2.0 technologies (like Twitter) create both challenges and opportunities in future PR battles? \u00a0Undoubtedly. \u00a0(Will PR turn into pwn<\/a> relations in certain circles?) \u00a0It will be interesting to see how the use of these technologies evolves over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
