I’m a bit split at the moment, but in general I like both Kevin and Malcolm, they’re both smart and politically savvy dudes.
However, when it comes to social media & online, Malcolm clearly leads the race. What do you think, poll below.
To quickly compare what they’re doing
Malcolm Turnbull has:

1. A Twitter feed, being genuinely updated
2. A flickr page, with non-polished genuine photos
3. A smart xmas greeting card, sent out in the last 7 days (and took over his website‘s homepage)
4. His dog’s have blogs, his website is smart and the list goes on…

Kevin Rudd, on the other hand has:
1. A boring ‘corporate/campaign’ website (granted, this may be a Gov requirement)
2. Has a flat and boring ‘personal’ site
3. Has a Twitter feed, although very dry and impersonal (oh and you can’t direct message him)
4. A dry flickr page with all his publicity shots
5. A party message driven facebook page
6. And in a major fail, I received an email that got put into my spam folder on the 17th of December.

It’s a real shame that he’s continuing to miss the boat on this thing called social media and the internet…

I do agree Turnbull does appears to be in the lead at present, it’s ironic that Rudds PM online campaign in 07 was seen as “cutting edge” for Australian politics – what happened in 08?

Isn’t a little unfair to say that SPAMs just because the email hit your SPAM filter? If he went out and purchased lists and sent endless emails and ignored opt outs, that’s SPAMMING.
