Facebook App Proves A Game-Changer for Obama Campaign
Answer: What is "targeted sharing" on Facebook? The question: How was the Obama campaign going to reach the millions of young people under 29 who had no listed phone numbers and flew under the radar -- just out of reach of pollsters and volunteers -- using the cellular network to communicate?
