(1) The budget for this did not stretch to 4 figures, and so the e-mail had to still be the ‘Nyhetsbrev’ provided by the party.
(2) You’re right on McCain vs. Obama in terms of tools, but that’s not true among MEPs. Tell me any that are making proper use of any sort of social media?
(3) There are a number of practical things already happening for public meetings and campaigning thanks to Facebook; more via Twitter and e-mails also will follow

So all very good for Åsa Westlund, but it’ll be for nought if she doesn’t use it to organise people to do ‘real’ (for want of a better word) political activities. The most screamingly obvious flaw in the homepage is that there’s no prominent email signup box – this should be the first thing that anyone sees when arriving at a campaign website. The way to people’s hearts, votes and wallets, is through their email inboxes.

Twitter – I think this will increase as the campaign goes on.

Her twitter updates are once every day/2days, her flickr pictures are copyright, so as a fan/blogger/etc you can not use them for free. If she changes these points, it will work out great for her!
