- Ten Ways Social Media Can Improve Campaign Engagement and Reinvigorate American Democracy
- by Darrell M. West, Vice President and Director, Governance Studies. The Brookings Institution, June 28, 2011. "Social media are the ultimate in disruptive technology. They change information delivery, business organization, online content, news coverage, and the manner in which individuals process new developments. As shown during the 2008 campaign, these digital tools represented a textbook example of voter mobilization and electoral impact. They were, in the words of Engage Partner Mindy Finn, the 'central nervous system' of campaign organizations. Using social networking outreach tools such as Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and Twitter, a number of Democratic and Republican candidates raised money, identified supporters, built electoral coalitions, and brought people in closer touch with the electoral process..."

- Twitter 101: Short and tweet not so simple for federal leaders
- By Misty Harris, Postmedia News. Calgary Herald, March 28, 2011. "Politicians aren't exactly men (or women) of few words. So when it comes to campaigning in 140 characters or fewer on Twitter, it's not surprising that the tweets aren't as smooth as the talk.
