MEPs and social media: who knows?

Before the June 2009 European elections, Brussels consultancy Fleishman-Hillard published a study into MEPs’ use of the internet. Really interesting. But a month later, utterly out of date, not least because of about 50% turnover in EP membership after the elections. So does anyone know how many MEPs have blogs, Facebook profiles or use Twitter today? Does anyone have a clever and quick way of finding out? The vibe says there are lots more than before. After all, this is the era of the Facebook President and the Twittering President, is it not? Meanwhile, Twitter fiends, check out Europatweets, if you don’t already know it, you’ll find quite a few MEPs there. (And yes, I know, we could do the research ourselves, couldn’t we? Well actually we already have some willing victims on this, but if anyone out there already knows, I’d hate to think I was wasting their time…)

  1. Interesting question. You could check out a list of active MEP blogs on Bloggingportal (scroll down, it’s the 3rd group): http://www.bloggingportal.eu/reader/blogs
