I think this is a rather brilliant use of a free utility for the purpose of making government more transparent. Personally I think there are some closet Twittershitters in Parliament.
The document tells civil servants their tweets should be “human and credible” and written in “informal spoken English.”
It advises government departments to produce between two and 10 tweets a day, with a gap of at least 30 minutes between each “to avoid flooding our followers’ Twitter streams.”
This is gold:
The Twitter document said the government must “accept that there will be some criticism” of its efforts.
Remember, don’t tweet with your caps lock ON.
