Now Wales' politicians are getting in on the act – Bethan Jenkins has been at it for some time but she's now in good company, at a glance I found a further 8 of our elected officials (or prospective candidates) on the microblogging site.
PC is of course following them all but if you're interested you can find them too at:
@AdamPriceMP – Plaid MP for Carmathen East and Dinefwr
@BethanJenkins – Plaid AM for South Wales West
@HuwLewis – Labour AM (and potential leadership contender) for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney
@JeffCuthbert – Labour AM for Caerphilly
@JocelynPlaid – Plaid AM for South Wales East and Deputy Minister for Housing
@KirstyAM – Lib Dem leader and AM for Brecon and Radnorshire
@lembitopik – Lib Dem MP for Montgomeryshire
@LisaStevens80 – Labour European candiadate
@NerysEvans – Plaid AM for Mid and West Wales
Is this really them? Are we missing anyone? Do let us know!

I'm all for it, personally. We complain that AMs/MPs don't actually DO much, outside of TV interviews and the odd debate. Well, Twitter is their chance to prove us wrong. By showing us that every day, it's a meeting here, a committee there, a surgery wherever..
... except they have to actually USE the thing. Bethan has it down, but most of the others seem to have blank or hardly-used Twitter accounts. Which seems like bandwagon jumping to keep in with the cool-kids rather than the use of a potentially effective political tool. It's not enough to walk the Twitter walk, you have to talk the Twitter talk. catchphrase (c) 2009 Al Iguana lol
