Tweet the Governor about Education… and other topics too:
"On Tuesday, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger launched www.MyIdea4CA.com, a Web site for Twitter users to share their ideas about improving California. The website acts as a Twitter forum, and follows up from the June 2009 public invitation to tweet the Governor about new ideas on the state budget. Not everyone thinks this is a great idea, however.
A recent USA Today article explores the perspectives of “Twitter haters”. In sum, “Twitter haters” lament the way that Twitter and other forms of social media seem to dull users’ desire for face to face interaction.
There is an alternate, and perhaps more popular, perspective: The adoption of social media by public figures from President Obama to Ashton Kutcher and everyone in between, have provided a way for everyday Americans to be more engaged than ever in public life."
