L'usage des médias sociaux par Barack Obama est tout simplement incroyable. Ici en Suisse les politiciens s'intéressent à ce phénomène 1 mois avant les élections et les abandonnent généralement une fois l'élection passée. On essaie de faire changer ça mais ce n'est pas facile. Un très bel exemple de communication même si je pense qu'elle est très bien contrôlée :-)

Yep, that is how flickr works... but on any mashable article, how does one enlarge the image? I always find myself wanting to see a larger view of images that are in the posts.

Obama has not been making the most of social media during his presidency. I believe he could be more effective in the debate on health care reform, renewable energy and restoring America's image as a human rights defender around the world.

Because the photos in that photostream are taken by official government photographers, they're in the public domain. For a while, they were being posted there under some cc license, but after a number of us complained, Flickr changed the license to indicate its lack of copyright as a work of the federal government. The "restrictions" on use probably derive from personality rights, I suppose, because they cannot come from any sort of copyright restrictions. I don't understand why they think they can legally prevent the photos from being manipulated in any way.

I'd say that I appreciate Obama's Official White House Flickr stream more than any of the administration's other online profiles because it gives a truly unprecedented, in-depth look into the President's life. It's consistently updated with amazing photos.

I can't help thinking of all of the celebrities who sell their pictures, and that makes me appreciate this action even more!

I routinely watch the videos that are posted on the Vimeo Whitehouse stream. The ones they do that aren't press conferences not only are great quality, but use a team that knows and understands the latest tech when it comes to video. You can see that in their gear. i'm impressed

Wow! I know this is official photographer, press release stuff but it's still hard to imagine other Presidents posting family photos on Flickr.
