Obama's Digital Fundraising


President Obama successfully gained millions of fans throughout his campaign time through the social network website Twitter. This allowed him to recieve donations from millions of people, worldwide, from his followers as well as others. Although his rival recieved larger donations from more affluent supporters, he earned more overall. Obama used micro-donations, allowing his supporters to donate small amounts individually (an example of Chris Anderson's Long Tail theory).
