Faison’s Social Media

Recently I took a shot at Rep. Bill Faison for taking a shot at Governor Perdue – one that I thought hurt him as much as her.
 
Today – in an effort to be fair and balanced, as they say on Fox – I rise to praise him.
 
Few figures in North Carolina politics makes as good use of Facebook, Twitter and social media as Faison & Co.
 
He tweets and posts frequently – and substantively. So does Jeannie Bonds in support of him.
 
Governor Perdue’s office, by contrast, lags. I get about one email a week from her – generally a lengthy digest of events that happened days ago.
 
Even an old geezer like me can figure out that what makes online communications click is immediacy – and brevity.
 
In her defense, I suspect her staff is handcuffed by state government’s 19th Century communications systems. Her campaign needs to do better.
 
So there.  Fair and balanced.
