Communicating with US President Barack Obama has become a whole lot easy, as all you need is to message the president on Facebook Messenger, the social giant messaging app.
The move indicates the adoption of latest technologies by world’s governments. “Our goal is to meet people where they are,” stated Jason Goldman, the chief digital officer at the White House, in a blog from White House.
You can now communicate with the US President at facebook.com/WhiteHouse, informed the post. It also highlighted Obama’s Twitter account and the Michelle Obama Snapchat account as examples of White House going digital, reported ReCode.
“For the greater part of our nation’s history, the only way to get a message to the President and the White House was to send it by mail. Technology made new ways of communicating possible. In the 1880s, the White House began receiving phone calls. In 1994, WhiteHouse.gov introduced a way for the public to submit messages online” stated a blog from White House.
The all new White House account is a good publicity boost for the Facebook Messenger, which has been actively pushing into messaging bots. "The White House's Messenger bot, a first of its kind for any government the world over, will make it as easy as messaging your closest friends," Goldman informed.
