Twitter and the Election
From Ian Whitehead
Friday, 23 April 2010

If you use Twitter use hash tags.

Hash tags allow topics to be grouped and easily searched by others such as #iranelection

Current UK political hash tags:

#caldervy - Calder Valley Constituency
#GE2010 - General Election 2010
#leadersdebate - Televised Leadership Debate

Also can be community driven and spring out of nowhere e.g. #nickcleggsfault was a reaction to recent Tory press smears

mention the candidates by using:

@hilary_myers
@ssteph4calder
@crag_whittaker

follow the candidates
