Kris Hoyt E-portfolio 2

I would like to talk about the search I had for the twitter accounts of the Edmonton City Council.

It starts out with me trying to find the various websites of the city councillors. To do this, I go onto the city's official website. After a small bit of navigation, I get to the list of city councillors. I click on eack name and I find a profile. Unfortunately, none of the profiles have any links to official websites. So I do a Google search of every single name. Just as an aside, that is not pleasant. It is even less pleasant when I can only find 9 out of 12 sites.

Only one of these sites, Don Iveson, includes a link to his Twitter, in the form of a twitter feed. I now had two options: find other twitter accounts through the 300 Don iveson follows, or ask the city's twitter account.

I chose the second one, and I found out that Don Iveson, Kim Krushell, Ben Henderson, and Jane Batty are the only ones with a twitter accounts, but Don is the only one to actually upgrade frequently.

  1. Interesting factoid: the reason there's no link from the city's website to mine is that mine is not an official website me councillor - it's a political website for me as a politician and, periodically, a candidate. The separation is required because I can't ethically or legally use city resources (e.g. the city's website) to promote my candidacy.
