Social media campaigns are in full swing. It’s hard to imagine a time not long ago when we were without social media. As we get ready for the Presidential election in just a few short weeks, the buzz of social media continues about the candidates.

They are taking to fields of online battle that might seem obscure to the non-Internet-obsessed — sharing song playlists on Spotify, adding frosted pumpkin bread recipes to Pinterest and posting the candidates’ moments at home with the children on Instagram.
