A life without Google. It’s harder than you think.

24.06.2014 7 comments

So I am in China for a week. I will write about the wider politics of the place when my time here draws to a close, but for now I will focus on just one aspect: what China’s block on Google tells us… about our use of Google. China blocked […]

If you want one of the placeholder Twitter accounts I’ve registered, here are a few things to bear in mind

03.04.2014 4 comments

I was an early adopter of Twitter, and have been using it for political purposes ever since. Throughout that time I have conducted all sorts of experiments with Twitter, and registered dozens of Twitter usernames for numerous purposes over the years. One of these experiments was to make unofficial accounts […]

The power of a title to make a picture go viral: “Politicians discussing global warming” by Isaac Cordal

23.03.2014 2 comments

For the last 5 days the picture shown above has been shared far and wide on Twitter (link to the tweet), and to a certain extent on Facebook too. The title “Politicians discussing global warming” and the stunning picture match perfectly. I too was one of the people who […]

I was @JC_Juncker. Lessons for Twitter, and for political social media too.

10.03.2014 1 comment

Just over a week ago, as the EU Twittersphere was starting to turn its attention to the EPP’s Dublin Congress, I wondered what presence – if any – Jean-Claude Juncker had on Twitter. None was the answer. So on 2nd March, at 2117 CET, I registered @JC_Juncker, a spoof Twitter […]

Merkel in London – a case study in political tweeting

27.02.2014 0 comments

Angela Merkel spoke in London earlier today, and – as could have been predicted in advance – it was one of the most interesting political stories of the day in UK and indeed EU and German politics. A BBC story with all the background can be found here. Such events […]

If you want Twitter your way, use a third-party Twitter client

07.02.2014 2 comments

I’m growing rather tired of loads of complaints on Twitter… about Twitter. Redesigns, changes to the chronological listing of tweets, pictures appearing in-stream by default are common complaints I keep on reading. This has prompted analysis, and even odd browser-based work arounds. Why is all of this so annoying? Because […]

The future of #EUtweetup – I need your help

06.02.2014 8 comments

First the simple bit: the very short term future of #EUtweetup is that the next tweetups will be on Monday 17th February in Brussels, and Wednesday 19th February in Berlin. The Berlin tweetup will be at Gorki Park from 1800 (details same as last time). But what about #EUtweetup Brussels? […]

If I were to start from scratch on Twitter, this is what I’d do

24.11.2013 7 comments

I joined Twitter (@jonworth) just over five years ago. Now with 40659 tweets, 9665 followers, and following 4641, I have accumulated a fair amount of experience using the network – and that’s just with my own personal account, let alone the dozens of accounts I have for other purposes. I’ve […]

I follow the Moskva. Down to… the #EUtweetup (at Gorki Park, Berlin, 19 November at 1800)

14.11.2013 0 comments

So we’ve organised a whole bunch of EU Tweetups in Brussels. But two of the three of us that started it in Brussels, Anne Laumen and I, now live in Berlin. So why not bring #EUtweetup to Berlin too? Hence do come along to the first #EUTweetup, Berlin, from 1800 […]

Who owns a Commissioner’s Twitter account, and its followers?

25.10.2013 12 comments

2014 is the big change-over year in the EU institutions. A new European Parliament will be elected in May 2014, and a new European Commission will take office in late autumn 2014. Some Commissioners will stay on, but probably with new portfolios, and others will not return after 2014. Some […]

Two political TweetUps: København 12th Sept, Brussels 16th Sept

07.09.2013 2 comments

Summer is over. Everyone is back to work tweeting about politics. So that means it’s time to get the political twitter nerds together to meet in real life. For those of you that have not been to one of these before (we’ve run at least three before), the idea is […]

The design of a politician’s Twitter profile

15.08.2013 0 comments

Danish Minister for Development Cooperation Christian Friis Bach has been coming in for some heavy criticism today on Twitter (his account is here) for his statements about Danish aid to Egypt. As a result I looked at his Twitter profile for the first time for some months and it’s quite […]
