We're not the only ones to have been swept up in social media madness and become glued to our networking profiles; UK politicians are also big social media fans according to new research highlighting the social media habits of politicians.
According to the study created through examining information collated on `Yatterbox', British politicians appear to have become quite obsessed with our favourite platform - Twitter. This indication comes from the fact that 91% of all social media postings made by UK politicians are on Twitter with the majority of politicians signing-up to the site two years ago.
Other notable findings of this study include: Postings on Facebook and Flickr make up less than 4% of all networking, as well as the most popular topics of tweets being media, health and society.
It's not surprising that politicians have invested so much time communicating with their public via Twitter, it's such a quick and easy way for your voice to be heard whilst receiving instant feedback.
