As a follow-up to my last post on technology, I’m happy to point out this article about Missouri legislators using Twitter. They’re giving constituents updates on their activities and accepting ideas and questions in return.

The article mentions that legislators may run into trouble if they divulge classified information on Twitter or make libelous statements. That’s true, but those are potential problems any time politicians open their mouths. The technology isn’t to blame.
