Twitter gaat zich meer op verkiezingen richten

Twitter gaat zich richten op verkiezingen. Dit naar aanleiding van de grote rol die Twitter had bij de verkiezingen in India dit jaar. “In India, Twitter Inc worked closely with politicians including the victor Narendra Modi who used the platform for election campaigning, and also partnered with mobile and media firms to distribute tweets online and offline.” Aldus het bericht op Reuters. India was een goede testmarkt gezien de enorme ‘connected’-populatie met bijna 1 miljard mobiele internetverbindingen.
Strategie
“Last week, the company sent its top political strategist to Brazil to explain the potential of the social network to senators, who are likely to use Twitter’s six-second video app Vine for campaigning after it was used by Indian politicians, the company said.”
