Social networking and video sharing sites are changing how politics are discussed online. Younger voters are more likely than older voters to get information about candidates from social networking sites. Barack Obama had more friends on MySpace and more supporters on Facebook than Hillary Clinton and John McCain during the 2008 election. Some politicians have used sites like Facebook and YouTube effectively in campaigns, but videos online can also harm candidates by spreading embarrassing incidents widely. While these new online tools may influence some voters, especially younger ones, traditional media still plays a large role in politics.
