  • has
    become an increasingly relevant and much talked about tool for the digital
    politician. As recently as December 2008 only two MPs were regularly
    dispatching 140-character ‘tweets', as a twitter message is known. Today, this
    has risen to 79 or just over 12% of MPs.
  • Twitter's 140 characters are most widely

    more and, used well, becomes a platform for engagement and to listen.
