To many this may seem like overkill, but in many ways it makes sense, although it can probably be considered ‘preaching to the choir’.

I believe that dedicated followers of a particlular candidate in a campaign may very well be interested in knowing what said candidate is up to at a given time – even if it means just getting tiny updates like ‘speaking in front of this and that crowd of students at this and that college’.

Also, it does seem to give the debate an edge when you are forced to express yourself in 140 characters. For instance, check out this tweet from mr. Obama:

Concice and aggressive, right?

With rumours of an upcoming Danish election this blogger is very much looking forward to seeing which candidate jumps on the ‘micro-blogging’ band wagon first, and whether the choice of platform falls upon Twitter or Jaiku.

Even though I personally prefer Jaiku, I wouldn’t be surprised if Twitter drew the long straw on account of its simplicity as well as the fact that it is an established platform in the American campaign.

What do you think?

Oh yeah, btw, I still consider this tweet from Jack Dorsey one of the coolest around…
