Kulongoski Not A Social Media Fan

By NW Digest Team at June 30th, 2009.

As I reported  yesterday, two of the Northwest’s three governors jumped on Twitter recently.

Curious about the sudden adoption of a popular social media tool, we emailed each guv’s press office to inquire how using Twitter or other social media fits into their wider strategy for communicating with constituents.

Here’s the reply we received from Anna Richter Taylor in Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s office to our questions:

subject RE: Twitter & the Gov

The Governor does not Twitter or have a Face Book or My Space page.

Anna Richter Taylor
Communications Director
Office of Governor Ted Kulongoski

That’s one line of text that could have fit on Twitter (140 characters of less!). But I digress, Kulongoski is apparently not a social media fan.
