SPOS #161 - President Obama Is A Social Media Guru

Welcome to episode #161 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Yes, you read that right, President Obama is a Social Media Expert... well, ok, maybe not. But that's one of the questions we discuss on this episode (courtesy of a great email question from Joseph at Diamond Beer Brewing). Marshall also chimes in on last week's Media Hacks about whether or not Twitter can topple the Iranian government" or rather, how Twitter is being used in a different way to communicate and inform. Enjoy the conversation...
