twitter fun

The ACT gov has harnessed the power of social media to interact with voters via twitter.  The ministers have now held a couple of 2 hour Q&A session on twitter, with the first one held back in July.  Tonight was the 2nd session (found out it was on via the Canberra Win news) and thought I would join the conversation this time and pose a couple of questions regarding their thinking on introducing a needle exchange program into the Canberra Jail.

Have to say whilst I didn't get any definitive answers (not surprising really - they are politicians afterall) it was a good opportunity to air my thoughts on the matter and as I got replies from the Chief Minister I at least know she has read what I had to say and at the end of the day that's all someone can do - stand up and say what they think.

So next time the ACT Gov holds one of these twitter Q&As I'll be there again with bells on.

Oh and if you're interested to see what went on all questions and answers can be found under #actvcc

In that time honoured tradition of blowing one's own horn I present another blog post I wrote for a blog called The Eloquent Page.  I wrote about a zine I recently catalogued which took my fancy, if your interested the post is titled Creativity rules!
