Our report on MP’s use of twitter is covered in Wired.
Parliament Street determined that the most “successful’ tweeting MPs would follow four basic rules: updating their Twitter account regularly; retweeting and answer questions when possible; offering links to campaigns and groups linked to their constituency or party; and, possibly most importantly, maintaining a funny and normal persona on their account. In essence, the report suggests that Mr Cameron could drastically improve his ability to reach out to Twitter users by being as radical as to retweet the occasional constituent and post the odd lolcat video. Grassroots politics at its best.
