According to Barack Obama’s Twitter and Facebook feeds, he is inviting everyone to send him a text message to let him know how you’re doing, what’s on your mind, and how you’re planning on voting this year.
Of course, that’s not his actual personal mobile phone number but rather a number that is used for his account on Community. Community is a social messaging platform that combines social networking and text messaging as a means for celebrities to engage with their followers.
According to this article, “Community offers its leaders (what it calls the notable folks providing a phone number) a walled garden of their own, with a line of communication that bypasses media and trolls, and connects them directly to fans and supporters. It also allows these users to cater their messages by geography and demographic.”
Community offers an online directory of its leaders that can be browsed or searched. Who do you feel like texting today?
