Politicians move to the Social Network
This world is really getting real. I read this on Brand Republic Tory networking site which is supposed to "court community spirit".
FRUSTRATION because the journalist writing the piece doesn’t get what social network sites are about. Starting a two way dialogue with your voters [in the case of the Tory party] and using the open-ness of that dialogue to forge a real relationship.
Now the politicians may be into spin. Or desperate for votes [likely] or some spin-wheeze thought up by an ad man. Or possibly, just possibly, an electable party who really wants to make changes based on a dialogue with the electorate. I expect there’ll be comment from the lads at Samizdata the political blog… this is really their space not mine.
