Don’t Twitter Away Your Political Career!

Chris Cillizza posted an excellent article at the Washington Post about politicians and Twitter. While there’s a lot of effort spent talking about the benefits of new social technology, there is a downside. He goes a little overboard by suggesting that no one should ever use it, but it’s a great cautionary post. I couldn’t have written it better myself, so I will simply point to Cillizza’s article and let you decide. You can also follow him on Twitter, as well as following me. Politicians: Do as we say, not as we do!

    About Me

    I'm a biological scientist by training with eclectic interests in politics, government, technology, and pop culture. My writing has appeared in diverse publications: PBS MediaShift, TechPresident, Mashable, Nature, Genetics, Genome Research, Defense and Technology Papers, Defense Horizons, The Washington Times, and The New York Times. Besides writing for True/Slant, conducting public policy research, and working on a book, I'm currently a regular columnist for O’Reilly Radar (social software and society), Federal Computer Week (emerging technology and government) and soon, DC Examiner. Because of all the above, I stare at books and computer screens too much, and at girls too little.
