It is pretty cool that the MLA's are actually responding to your tweets. Good Job! I just joined Twitter last week and I find it amazing.

I do not expect the Internet to become a mainstream medium for quite some time simply because it's still very anti-social and new. I mean anti-social in the sense that you are not actually going out and networking with people on issues face to face. It's great to be anonymous and spew out words of hatred about your politician, but you would as a rational individual act very different if you were to talk to politicians face to face. I would never go up to my alderman or MLA and go "YOU SUCK FOR BLAH BLAH BLAH WTFWTFWTF". Those that act in such an irrational way are usually put in a negative light and frowned upon. <br /><br />There's a long way to go for the Internet and at the end of the day, it's really action and innovation that needs to evolve out of it. If a candidate has innovative ideas via a new technology such as the Internet, then they can expect support. However, if it's the same old rhetoric but on a shiny, new medium, then it's not going to work. Twitter all you want, but I hear the same old things.
