New & Digital Media Takeover
Barack Obama victory tweet becomes most retweeted ever
US president tweets 'four more years' with picture of himself hugging Michelle
Barack Obama has celebrated winning another term as US president by tweeting a photograph of himself hugging his wife, Michelle – which almost immediately became the most popular tweet of all time.
The tweet, captioned "Four more years", had been shared more than 400,000 times within a few hours of being posted and marked as a favourite by more than 70,000.
A decade ago this type of story line would not have made headline news because we didn’t have advanced technology which allowed us to use a service like twitter. It is amazing how now a political issue has been spread over the internet and has become the most shared tweet ever. Apart from the media side, it is good to see people of all ages showing interest in the news and on global issues. I feel social networking such as twitter has been a benefit to society rather than a hindrance because it allows us to keep up with issues around the world, which has been shown today by this historic event. Congratulation Mr. President J
