Twitter and Corporate Event

social media: May — piqued at the Globe snub and calling the debate a private, corporate event — assembled hundreds of supporters at a Victoria church, where she videotaped short bursts for distribution via social media, according to Hamilton Spectator. The sort of exposure a national televised debate can provide is vital to the Green party in its bid to build on a parliamentary beachhead of two seats. May wasn't invited to the Globe and Mail newspaper debate in Calgary on the economy, so she turned to Twitter instead in an effort to elbow her way into the conversation. But May Twitter tactic might well have been the next best thing. But it remained to be seen whether she would be tweeting to the converted or reaching a broader audience with her video missives. She grabbed headlines this week for her bid to become part of the discussion — at least online, if not on stage. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
