158 MEPs are on Twitter
November 2nd, 2009 | Published in Blog | 2 Comments
Who said European politics was incompatible with Social Media? If we take the example of Twitter: among the 736 MEPs, how many of them are on Twitter? This is a question many EU-bloggers and Twitter users have been asking for weeks. Here it is, the complete (*) list with the 156158 “tweeting” europoliticians classified by names and countries. Which means ca 21% of the MEPs have a Twitter account. This sound incredibly positive, unfortunately, some of them are more active than others, some accounts being already abandoned for some time now. Anway, this is just the beginning, let’s wait and see how many (still) use it in 5 years!
* If some MEPs were missing, please add them in the comments and I’ll update the list.
