Twitter and Politics

Social Media is spreading like a wild fire, and a wild fireit is! The wave of social media has captured all. Bloggers, business people,online firms, marketing executives, random public, musicians and evenpoliticians! Yes you heard that right. Politics has found its way on to thesocial media and is being effectively used by many politicians to promote theirideas and interact with the general people.

Twitter is a great way for people to communicate with eachother, share info and keep in touch. For politicians these tools mean much morethan that. What does a politician needs the most? A platform to talk on, aplace where from where they can easily communicate with the general masses.Twitter does exactly this! I personally know some people who are related topolitics and are using twitter as a very effective tool to channel theirthoughts, views and agendas. This has a huge impact! People actually look outto their tweets and more over also ask them for comments on current issues.

The best thing about this new trend is that people can communicatein real time with these politicians. They can give feedback on the politicianswork and similarly can send their views or suggestions. All this is great for thepolitician as well as the public, increasing interactivity and a establishing asense of faith. This technique (as I like to call it) also is an indication ofthe politician’s social awareness and it sends across a strong message to theaudience.

Social media is undoubtedly the most rapidly evolving media.In the near future we will see people communicating via social media tools tointeract in real time activities. Social Sites like Twitter, Facebook etc arejust the start of a long journey.
