Macon Phillips (@Macon44), Director of White House Office of Digital Strategy, joined Politics Powered By Twitter co-hosts Slade Sohmer (@SladeHV) and Lee Brenner (@LeeBrenner) last Thursday to discuss the administration’s thought process behind the #My2K hashtag, what the White House considers “success” for a Twitter campaign given the lack of quantifiable metrics, the overall White House social media strategy and the president’s personal tweets. Oh, and Phillips’ newborn son.
