Until recently, we as Internet users have been lucky enough to enjoy what could be described as a parallel world - where we use online apps and publish content without the obvious presence of governing bodies. However, now we can expect the deluge of promotional material from political candidates to extend beyond the flyers in the letterbox and into our email, RSS and Twitter feeds. Thankfully, with most social media and online apps we have control over whose information we receive - which brings about another issue - if we can choose who we wish to listen to, does social media make reaching people easier or more difficult for politicians?

It's good to know that it has the basics for the beginner as well as the more advanced features. I am still feeling my way with all of this but I think I might have a go at Wordpress next as my next challenge. Thanks Tim I appreciate the offer.

I'm very happy that I chose Wordpress. I hadn't previously used any other blog platforms but had seen a lot of praise for Wordpress and the volume of themes and add-ons appears to be huge. I'm looking forward to redesigning this blog with my own design theme which will be a challenge! If you choose to go with Wordpress in the future good luck with it, I'm sure you'll find it pretty easy to use and I think it's one of those environments where if you want to get into the nitty gritty details, you have the tools at your disposal to do so. At the same time, it's pretty straight forward if you want to keep it basic. If you take the plunge and get stuck with anything be sure to let me know - happy to help out where I can. All the best, Tim Thanks for your comments Janine.

I have been reading up on Wordpress lately and it seems a very powerful environment. I stayed with the easy to use for a firs timer Blogger but am very interested to hear what your experience has been like with Wordpress. If you don't mind the question.

That being said, expect now an onslaught of social media electioneering in the future. Is this a good thing, I'm not sure but I think we were always heading towards this point eventually.

The concept of information ecology is a very rich and inspiring one, on which I have spent a lot of time as well. In my masters thesis I have given it some thought in the framework of business organizations. Might be interesting for you too! All the best! M@ I like your reasoning!

I agree that how we use the Web defines the Internet period we are in and moving towards. You are right, Web3.0 is even happening now, the idea of a semantic web is an amazing concept and I hold my breath in trepidation for a web which doesn't just suggest alternative spellings to my searches, but goes ahead and gives me further results based on logical reasoning.
