The UK Election – is social media a good thing here?
As the election race heats up, we can begin to see how the party leaders are using social media or being employed by it better than previously. This has to be the most analysed election in history because of the sheer number of folk monitoring every breath of all involved.
But does this help us settle on a winner?
Well up till yesterday you will have thought that it was merely a innocuous stream of info that might do zip to sway folks either way, but when Brown bursted out the now famous ‘bigot’ slur, things got all heavy pretty quickly.
It was repeated across the net in record time and soon millions of men and women knew exactly what had gone on. The way stories is now distributed means we don’t have to hang about for the daily newspaper – we can get it right away, much to the chagrin of our hapless leaders.
Naturally, this will all be used for exactly the opposite because excellent news can also spread quickly – it’s just not as tempting so you have got to try harder.
David Cameron has tried and some say succeeded ( many say failed ) by making his series of ‘Webcamerons’. Horrible(maybe he should have got some seo training first?). But at least he is’s trying and anyhow, do we want our leaders to get involved with us in this way?
there are numerous that say they should stick to what they are doing best and leave social media well alone rather than fail and embarrass themselves, but there’s a growing swell of opinion that if they need to engage with the populous, they should embrace new technology and all that it brings.
My personal opinion is that they should indeed do this, but only when they learn when to chat and when to close up.
