Twitter: Communication Tool or Pointless Vanity? October 21, 2009

Wednesday 21st October, 6.30pm, Portcullis House, Westminster.

The Hansard Society would like to invite you to an event discussing the merits of the new social networking phenomena, Twitter. Does tweeting enhance engagement, encourage deliberation and bring people together or merely facilitate cyber self-indulgence?

Joining us to debate this hotly contested topic:



* Iain Dale - Conservative activist and top blogger
* Kerry McCarthy MP - Labour's 'Twitter Tsar'
* Jo Swinson MP - One of the first MPs in the UK to use Twitter and Facebook
* Andrew Walker - Tweetminster

Chaired by Virginia Gibbons, Head of Communications, Hansard Society.
