TechCrunch also wrote about Obama's plan to host fireside chats on YouTube, reminding me of FDR's fireside chats during another challenging time for our nation.

We live in a very historic time, and I'm trying to soak it all up to learn for the long-term.

Update 11/17: Just noticed Francois Gossieaux's post on the subject of cause marketing in the Obama campaign in his Facebook status update.  A good read.  Let's hope that Obama leverages the Millennials for civic causes, given his social momentum.  BTW, Francois does some good interviews, so it is worth following his blog.

Update 11/19: Twittermaven writes about Obama's success on Twitter being copied by the G7.
