2008 election candidates are quickly realizing that social media, from YouTube to Twitter and everything in between, is changing the way they interact with voters, are able to respond to challenges, and the ways in which opposition can be voiced. So how are candidates responding?

So how does a small company compete with social media giants, such as YouTube and Facebook, for viral attention? WeProNews covered a moderated panel that spoke about how to ignite a viral marketing campaign, all from a small business perspective. Bill Hanekamp of WOMMA member company The Well was one of the panelists, and was joined by Ed Kim, CEO of Red Bricks Media and Fionn Downhill, CEO and President of Elixir Systems.

On The WebMarketCentral Blog, highlights of a podcast, featuring Paul Dunay of Buzz Marketing for Technology and Cece Lee of the PR Meets Marketing blog, are posted, as well as a link to the podcast itself. The podcast covers the role of PR in new media, as well as how PR professionals should approach bloggers and what web 2.0 tools they should be using.

On the Cymfony blog, WOMMA Board member Jim Nail explains his take on social networking, how social networks have to walk a thin line between pleasing marketers and alienating consumers, and what it all means for WOM marketers.

There are lots of ways that marketers can use Twitter to their advantage. Here are just a few, collected on the This is Going to be BIG blog (with comic relief and photos from the I Can Has Cheezburger? Blog).
