Health Reform Pushes Social Media Envelope

Dozens of groups have taken to the web to communicate their position on the topic of federal health care insurance reform. Whether you're for it or against it, or totally confused like most Americans, this debate will speed innovation online.

Today, I'll highlight the President's government effort. You can find it at: http://www.healthreform.gov/

In that now recognizable Obama style, the President's team has created a slick, easy to use interface where the American public can get information, read speeches and provide feedback to the big guy in charge.

Under "state your support for health reform this year" the Pres is collecting contact info for his army of supporters. I'm sure we'll see that delivered to Congress soon.

Notification of events, information on blogs, and highly produced videos are all part of the Obama arsenal around this topic. Even an interactive state-by-state map of the status of health care around the U.S. is featured.

The unlimited resources of the U.S. government allow the President to deliver propaganda via social media in new and fresh formats daily.
