Global outreach from the Norwegian Prime minister :)

Not true. But it could have been.

The Norwegian Prime minister, as leader of his party and with elections coming up created his own Facebook page / public profile. I am actually working on a small post around Social Ads and other ads on large sites, how easy it is and the effect, reach and so on. Coming later.

The "Global outreach from the Norwegian Prime minister" is an ad- probably directed towards Norwegians and also probably set up to "hit" the profiles of people from Norway.

So what is the message? - "Become Jens Stoltenberg Supporter" :)

This is in fact The Norwegian Prime minister paying an US based company for an add on a social network, to reach Norwegians with the coming election in mind.

No matter the result - it is an better understanding than I have seen from many regarding how this works today. Better understanding on the global, real internet revolution (the use of it) and on how social networks works at this time. Nobody can claim that they exactly know how this work, and what the results will be. But not all can afford to wait and see.

There is alternative channels and people are spending much more time on them today, and not only that, they are interacting in a much broader (masses) and larger scale.
