Hey there, I am working on a story about new media technologies and local politics. In the wake of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign and exponential growth of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, are your local politicians using new media technologies to engage constituents?

Do you follow a mayoral candidate’s tweets?

Are you a friend of a political candidate on Facebook?

I want to know your experience and what political candidates are doing near you. Tell me about it in the comments section of this post.
