Twitter is also playing a big role in the elections. It plays such a large role that users actually see delays in their tweets showing up of hours.

If you visit the White House website you will find they have added a New Facebook account for Community Service. During the debate and the inauguration, most of us communicated and obtained updates. No doubt Social Media is it.
