Expert made fun of politicians who appeal to voters via Myspace

Seventeen Australian politicians who opened their pages on MySpace to become “closer to potential voters” were mocked by Stephen Collins, an expert in social computing.



Collins said that the active network audience does not visit MySpace, having chosen Facebook as its home and reading blogs there.



“I’m rather disappointed than excited,” Collins writes in his diary on acidlabs, the founder of which he is, “not because they joined MySpace, but because they followed bad advice.”

The “social evangelist” urges politicians to register on Facebook - this, he writes, is very easy to do.
