Actually I think I'd like to take this back. I've started using Twitter and I actually think it's an absolutely fantastic way to get short amounts of information across. Currently I 'follow' things like BBC Breaking News, and political blogs, it allows me to just read through short amounts of very up to date text to find what I'm interested in reading.

I'd actually find it very useful and informative if MP's or in fact councillors used Twitter, now that I've had chance to get used to it.
