The connectivity point is a good one - particularly for those following who are not in Canada.<br /><br />I am enjoying the immediate reaction, photos, etc. that people are tweeting from events, rallys, etc. It offers more than the traditional reliance on the news and broadcasters.<br /><br />The point about whether Twitter is enabling something that would otherwise not happen is interesting. Is it bringing new people into the debate - like you, Kendall - or more often serving as an alternative feed or platform for those aready engaged?<br /><br />Thoughts?A Guy Watching Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14179195643262016038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455704640278051306.post-18231957705796705302011-03-30T06:43:43.799-04:002011-03-30T06:43:43.799-04:00I was late getting to the Twitter party.

But over these last few weeks I have discovered that it is a great source of information. As you said, instead of viewing or searching several websites, I just read my Twitter timeline to find articles that might interest me.<br /><br />I, along with you, like how it's connecting people and allowing ordinary people to engage in politics, it is refreshing to see. I wonder, though, if a lot of the people discussing and sharing info related to elxn41 are people who would do so outside of Twitter as well. Such as myself. What I would like to know is the impact social media is having on those who are not usually inclined to be a part of the political process.<br /><br />Just a thought... Great post!<br /><br />-KendallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455704640278051306.post-35554192188362004222011-03-30T01:51:49.743-04:002011-03-30T01:51:49.743-04:00i love it! If I didn't have twitter or social ...i love it! If I didn't have twitter or social media I don't know what I would do bc... living in detroit across the narrow river might as well be across the atlantic ocean. I don't hear or know anything about Canada - nothing is ever covered in the news here... so its nice to see so much political hype online. :)ilovecheesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418241116775982827noreply@blogger.com
