Twittering my Thumbs to Political Victory!

Everywhere I look lately I see another article about using Social Media in local campaigns/politics/government.

Social Media expert John Moore asks … Will politicians understand that Twitter is not for one-way social interaction?

And my friend Phil Van Treuren at Killer Campaigning writes about …. Political Campaign Tweets: Twitter, Candidates & Elections.

I know if I were a candidate for office I would be investigating the use of social media for my campaign.

I mean the Academy of Local Politics has a Facebook Fan Page. Each post written on this blog finds its way to the Facebook Fan Page and eventually Twitter. That’s just the way things go these days. If a candidate doesn’t understand that they are missing out big time.

By the way if you aren’t a Facebook Fan of the Academy of Local Politics you should be. Sign up at the Facebook Logo on your upper right side.
