You may recall that I started an experiment on Twitter reaching out to Political accounts on twitter, feel free to read here for a reminder. The United States Senate was out of session when I launched this experiment and I will run it again in February. However, I wanted to quickly report the results as of this point as I have stopped counting for January.
Drum roll please…. 3, yes, just 3, people responded:
– @RepMikeQuigley Mike has championed transparency for 10+ yrs, is working w/ Sunlight Fndtn on future good gov’t bill. Thanks! Social Media Policies
– @RepMikeHonda Mike’s online communication director responded and requested more information. I have not heard back since I sent my follow-up but remain hopeful.
– @SenElaineMcCoy Senator McCoy is a Canadian Senator, the only one I reached out to from Canada in this round. You can read my interview with Senator McCoy here.
The experimentation will continue in February, stay tuned.

Fun experiment..looking forward to hearing Feb’s results.
