President Obama signed online yesterday for an informal Q&A with Reddit users.
Taking place Wednesday 29th August, around 4:30pm (ET), the surprise “Ask me anything” session was complimented by a verification through the President’s twitter page and a candid of Obama waiting for some audience participation on his laptop. I won’t get down and dirty with the examples, you can view the Reddit stream for yourself here.
Reddit has been the source of a remit of publicity stunts and acts of crowd activated awesomeness in the past few months with the epic community for weight loss and the contraversial “rapist hour” popping up in the news recently.
All that can be said is that the US Presidditor (can I claim that?!) and his team should be applauded for their continuous impromptu, casual and correct use of social media:
Engagement is king.
Conversation always comes first, because once you have comfortable engagement - you can direct your audience where you need them to be so much easier. Oh, and a cheeky meme (which I must admit, I don’t understand/find cheesy but still love in that “ohhhh, yoooou!” sort of last-scene-from-a-family-sitcom way) won’t hurt either.
UPDATE: …and in true Reddit fashion, Mitt Romney gets ripped to incoherent shreds on the CJ board.
