Recently, I came across a fascinating article written for the Australian Journal of Political Science called “Digital Dialogue? Australian Politicians’ use of the Social Network Tool Twitter“, by Will Grant, Brenda Moon and Janie Busby Grant. The article looked at the different ways that politicians are using Twitter in the real world, and the most [...]
I thought I’d share with my readers some of thoughts about my tweeting and blogging from 2010 – a year that saw considerable growth in readership and followers for me. Blog 2010 was the year of elections, and marked my attempt to blog at least once a week. While I’ve been blogging on and off [...]
Pew Internet released another interesting report last year about Twitter usage. It only focuses on the USA, but I imagine that usage demographics and other statistics are fairly consistent across the West, including Australia.

This allows you to use your Twitter login to join or log into their website, as well as add Twitter-style popups over names that are Twitter accounts (such as @alexanderwhite, @UKLabour, or @climateprogress). This means you can [...]
The Massachusetts election has blown open the mainstream media’s infatuation with social networking tools, with headlines like “the iphone app that killed Coakley“. On the techblogs, there is also detailed examination of new tools that aided the winning Mass. Senate candidate Scott Brown. I am hardly immune to the temptation of writing about the exiting [...]
This year will see the UK General Election, where it is widely expected that the British Labour Party will be ousted by the Tories from No. 10 after thirteen years of Government. The election bloodletting started a while ago, although now it is really getting nasty. With that in mind, I suggest that you add [...]
