Dan_Tynan: Let's retrofit the Oval Office. Usually in DC it's the staff that are the geeks and the politician is clueless. I don't think Obama is clueless but it's his staffers who saw the value in social media.

Curt_Monash: Exactly, Dan. All the we-can't-have-high-tech arguments can be gotten around.

Jamey_Heary: Has any president's use of technology influenced the public? No.

Dan_Tynan: Because they don't use it, Jamey. Or haven't until now. He "gets" it. That's what is important even if he isn't really a geek.

Curt_Monash: Obama is user than I am.
