Hansard report-but no mention of twitter

Just had a quick flick through the Hansard report into how MP's are using digital media to keep in touch with their consitituents.


Here are some highlights.

1.The internet is now part of an MP's daily life.

2.They see digital media as a positive way of communicationg with their constituents.

3.Adoption is down to a members personal attitude to technology and the precariousness of the majourity in the seat.

Interestingly the report concludes that one area blogging is not as popular due in part to time constraints but also as members don't beleive taht they target their audience sufficiently.

But perhaps tucked down in the recomendations is the cautionary tale that the internet does not exist in isolation.In fact it must not be divorced from the non digital approach
