Social Media for Politicians. A Growing Trend in Sri Lanka

Another election is coming up in the horizon in this part of the world where I live in. This time it’s going to be a parliamentary election, which happens every six years according to the Sri Lanka constitution. Already the Colombo streets are cluttered with posters and hoardings featuring broadly smiling faces of politicians of all major parties, who are appealing for our attention. In a few days time, the commercial slots of prime time TV will also get cluttered by repeated boring messages from various politicians campaigning for the election. Beneath all these drama, there is completely a new dimension of political marketing budding in, which only a handful of them tried out during the 2004 general election. Politicians are beginning to discover the internet, and they are sensing the power of social media and online communities. Politicians in this part of the world, are increasingly trying to strengthen their presence on the internet and social networking sites, most definitely following the foot steps of Barack Obama, who’s campaign was the best case study of effective use of social media for political campaigning.

The DEMO Model

I’ve been writing a series of articles to the online technology magazine Digit.lk for few months now, on the topic of eMarketing and Digital Media. In the upcoming issue of the magazine, my article focuses on “developing an effective eMarketing plan”.

The Lyrics

When i get older, they'll call me freedom
Just like a Waving Flag.

[Chorus]
When I get older, I will be stronger,
They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag,
And then it goes back, and then it goes back,
And then it goes back

Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
but Violent prone, poor people zone,
But it's my home, all I have known,
Where I got grown, streets we would roam.
But out of the darkness, I came the farthest,
Among the hardest survival.
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak,
Except no defeat, surrender retreat,

So we struggling, fighting to eat and
We wondering when we'll be free,
So we patiently wait, for that fateful day,
It's not far away, so for now we say

[Chorus]

So many wars, settling scores,
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor,
I heard them say, love is the way,
Love is the answer, that's what they say,
But look how they treat us, Make us believers,
We fight their battles, then they deceive us,
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us,
Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers.

But we struggling, fighting to eat,
And we wondering, when we'll be free
So we patiently wait, for that faithful day,
It's not far away, but for now we say,

[Chorus] 2x

(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And everybody will be singing it
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And you and I will be singing it
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And we all will be singing it
(Ohhh Ohh Ohh Ohh)

[Chorus] 2x

When I get older, when I get older
I will be stronger, just like a Waving Flag,
Just like a Waving Flag, just like a Waving flag
Flag, flag, Just like a Waving Flag
