Infographic: The top government Twitter accounts in Australia

In January 2013 I found that the total tweets by all government agencies and councils in Australia I track had exceeded one million.

As a reflection of that achievement I’ve worked through the data I have on the use of Twitter by government agencies and councils in Australia to produce the following infographic (scroll for more).

I’ll be producing state by state (including territories and federal), local and topic-based infographics as a follow-up over the next few weeks, with more detailed information.

I’m considering writing an academic paper on the use of Twitter by government in Australia in case there’s any academics out there who would be interested in co-authoring.
