The statement to US presidential candidate that \u2018social media can make you or break you\u2019 would not be an exaggeration considering the power of social media to influence people. Role of social media in Middle East up-rise is a living example of ability of social media to mobilize masses in a particular direction.

But larger question remains whether social metrics can predict the outcome of US Presidential election 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
