Twitter: some use it to tell all their followers that they need to go to the bathroom, are riding the bus or are bored. It’s used vastly by individuals in very different ways. But not only individual persons use twitter to shout out to the world without raising their voice. Whole groups can have a common twitter account. And of course parties wouldn’t miss to use this way of communication.
I took a closer look at the Democrat’s twitter profile. They have nearly 2700 tweets. They tweed several times a day, sometimes every hour and make it to more than 12 tweets a day. I guess you could describe the Democrats as active twitter users. They provide their followers with links and very often they link to their news blog.
Last week they tweeted a lot about president Obama’s State of the Union Address. They provide information and news. But sometimes they can be very entertaining. For example this tweet: “Exercise your right to vote—for our newest State of the Union T-shirt design.” Apart from trying to sell some merchandise and getting everyone to watch the address, they also thought of new and fresh ways to approach this issue. I found the following too funny to be true: Find out who's sitting with First Lady Michelle Obama at the State of the Union. The link that followed led the reader to the website of the White House, where everyone could click on little chairs to find out who will be sitting where. A little window with a picture and a description of the person popped up. The who is who of the white house.
So now it’s your turn. Tell us what you think about the Democrats twitter profile. Is it a good way to bring politics to everyone’s cell phone or just a ridiculous attempt to be up-to-date?! #Judge now#
