Your 111th Online Congress

By Michael Cervieri in MediaFool on January 8, 2009

New laws governing congressional members allow them for the first time to blog, tweet, tumble, friend and engage throughout the Intertubes. This changes former rules that limited online activity to House.gov for everything but re-election sites.

It’s 2009. Follow your favorite congressional tweets, be ready for some simply awful YouTubery and engage with the People’s House. (Hat tip: Nieman Journalism Lab)
