What tools can politicians use?

Here I want to point out a couple of ways politicians can use to connect with people.

Websites: A website is important for anybody in politics. It is a platform that can be used to give a good overall picture of the candidate and his policies.

Email lists: These can be used to deliver news. However people tend to be awry of these lists as nobody want´s spam in their inbox, so they should be used with caution.

Social networks: These are essential. They should be used like websites, to give a positive look at the candidate.

Twitter: Tweets can give an interesting look, or window, into your life. That can be useful. However, it´s not vital since Twitter is kind of limited in it´s function.

    Funnily out of all those sources I probably trust email lists the most. There is something reassuringly old-fashioned about them, I can't believe that anyone would be bothering to put their effort into misinforming me through a dying form.

  2. You have a very good point when you say that emailing should be used with caution. Especially when you accidentally send an email to the wrong person as I mentioned in my blog. Check it out!

    Although this is a serious matter, clumsy mistakes like this always make me laugh.
