Isn’t it amazing how fast ideas spread these days? Someone comes up with a good solution in one country, days or weeks later, you’ll find a similar solution in another country.
In this specific case I’m talking about websites that allows you to follow tweet from politicians. Here are the four I’ve heard about so far:
- US – Tweet Congress (made by Squeejee, one of the Web Awards Winners at SWSX this year)
- UK – TweetMinister (made by these guys)
- Sweden – Twixdagen (made by Inre Kabinett AB)
- Denmark –Twittertinget (brand new, made by WeMind)
(Thanks @kimelmose for informing me about Twittertinget)
Any other Twitter + politicians-lists you are aware of? This list is screaming for a Norwegian Tvitinget/Stortwitt/StorTwitter/Twittinget!
Update: You can follow MEPs in the European Parliament at Europatweet (which I’ve written about here), and Norwegian MPs at Twittertinget.

There is also @europatweets (http://europatweets.eu) to see all tweets from the members of the european parliament (and also candidates during elections time)
And http://kamertweets.nl/ for the Netherlands.
Great to see this spreading! It will definitely motivate more and more politicians to take on the Twitter bandwagon and be more transparent and participative! Love it 🙂
Xavier, thanks for letting me know about the Dutch site, that was new to me. I’ve already written about Europatweets, I just updated the blog post with the link.
Keep up your good work!
You can add http://politwitter.ca/ to the list for Canada. It lists and aggregates Canadian federal and provincial politicians as well as all political Twitter from the regular Canadians.
Thanks for updating me, Trevor!
