			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="Twitter logo" src="ftp://policomm:RUb8*rIJ@mets.dreamhost.com/policomm.info/images/twitter_logo_125x29.png" alt="Twitter logo" width="125" height="29" />Spring is just around the corner and we are led to believe that everyone is using <a title="Twitter" href="http://twitter.com">TWITTER</a> to tell the world what they are doing right now!  me &#8211; &#034;Typing a post about Twitter&#034;  Have a look at <a title="policomm's twitter page" href="http://twitter.com/policomm">http://twitter.com/policomm</a> and don&#039;t forget to press the follow me button!</p>
<p>Sounds like garbage to you? Then you need to read <a title="Duct Tape marketing" href="http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/2008/08/04/twitter-for-business/">Duct Tape Marketing</a>&#039;s guide “<a href="http://www.johnjantsch.com/TwitterforBusiness.pdf">Beginner’s Guide to Using Twitter for Business</a>”  You can learn how to:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>1) Would you like a way to connect and network with others in your industry<br />
or others who share you views? It’s a good a tool for that.<br />
2) Would you like a way to get instant access to what’s being said, this<br />
minute, about your organization, people, products, or brand? It’s a good<br />
tool for that.<br />
3) Would you like a steady stream of ideas, content, links, resources, and<br />
tips focused on your area of expertise or interest? It’s a good tool for that.<br />
4) Would you like to monitor what’s being said about your customers to help<br />
them protect their brands? It&#039;s a good tool for that.</em></p>
<p>I tend to use Twitter only once in a while and mainly as an archive of thoughts or comments that are logged on the website <a title="POLICOMM's Twittering" href="http://policomm.info/news/twittering/">HERE</a></p>
<p>If you use TWITTER or love or hate it tell us your comments &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="200" height="286" align="left" src="/uploads/Image/Image013.jpg" alt="Image013.jpg" />Recently, I spent a very pleasant and useful few days in Stockholm, the capital city of Sweden. It was the occasion of the annual conference of the <a href="http://www.eapc.com/">European Association of Political Consultants (EAPC)</a> and the chance to meet up again colleagues from previous European Parliament elections (<a href="http://www.springtime.nu">Bo Krogvig </a>- Sweden and Hans Anker &#8211; Netherlands/New York) and to meet new (at least to me!) fellow travellers in the political affairs world (<a href="http://www.swissmedia.hu">Aron Papp </a>- Switzerland; Eva Rundkvist&nbsp; -Sweden; <a href="http://http;//www.oyku.com.tr">Necati Ozkan</a> &#8211; Turkey; <a href="http://www.publicconsult.at">Thomas Hofer</a> &#8211; Austria; <a href="http://www.hartinger.at">Sepp Hartinger</a> &#8211; Austria; Mehmet Ural &#8211; Turkey and Bob and Thomas Maher &#8211; Australia to name a few.)</p>
<p>The conference programme gave us the opportunity to hear analysis of past election campaigns in Austria and Sweden and an insider knowledge from the French Presidency campaign &#8211; the right predictiction &#8211; and experienced views about the US Presidency campaign &#8211; watch out for &#039;super tuesday&#039; 5 February 2008 and the tip that it will be Hillary Clinton and Rudii Giuliani in the November run-off. For the Russian Presidency it seems will be Putin; Putin or Putin.</p>
<p>The<a href="http://www.idea.int"> International IDEA</a> NGO looks to be a great resource for &#039;Supporting democracy worldwide&#039; and Carl S&Oslash;RENSEN, Director General of Communications at the <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/europedirect/index_en.htm">European Commission</a> has got his work cut out on a minimum budget. <a href="http://www.flysas.com/en/About-SAS/CO2-emissions/">SAS Airlines</a> told us how they are re-inventing environmentalism by finding a new way to land their aircraft at Stockholm airport &#8211; too bad my carbon footprint for the weekend was supplied by Austrian airlines!</p>
<p>Thanks to Bo Krogvig of<a href="http://www.springtime.nu"> Springtime </a>and his team for a great organisation of the conference including the &#039;Gala&#039; dinner on the M/S Enkoping, it takes a lot (of aquavit?) to get me singing in public!</p>
<p>Visit Stockholm &#8211; its an interesting place.</p>
