Politicians Changing Friendships on My Space

by Chris Gilbey at 09:30AM (EST) on July 28, 2007 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

2 weeks ago on July 14th I did some research on the number of friends Australian politicians had on MySpace.

I thought it would be interesting to see what, if any, changes there have been over the last two weeks, to those that I originally researched.

Here are the results - previous numbers in brackets.

Howard Government – 9 Friends (8)
Kevin Rudd – 9545 Friends (4131)
Bob Brown – 958 Friends (181)
Andrew Bartlett – 573 Friends (261)
Steve Fielding – 60 Friends (5)
Peter Garrett – 1040 Friends (933)
Joe Hockey – 567 Friends (275)
Kerry Nettle – 205 Friends (83)
Tanya Plibersek – 201 Friends (101)
Malcolm Turnbull – 229 Friends (123)
Warren Snowdon –241 Friends (26)
Dennis Jensen – 95 Friends (6)
Julia Gillard – 1671 Friends (778)
Wayne Swan – 417 Friends (180)
Stephen Conroy – 208 Friends (112)
Maxine McKew – 573 Friends (133)
Nicola Roxon – 149 Friends (66)
Greg Combet – 553 Friends (342)
Steve Ciobo – 100 Friends (71)
Sam Crosby – 10 Friends (10)

The take away: Even the Liberal Party can grow its friends! But Sam Crosby can't....

Perceptric Forum

This Forum is where the partners in Perceptric Limited invite you to join us and explore issues that impact on business, consumers and communications.

Perceptric's mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations.

The essence of this mission is for us to be clear thinking about business and change. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.

Each of the partners in Perceptric has been extremely successful in their chosen field by working this way. More than theory we each know it works.

As a company we work with our clients in the United States, Asia and Pacific regions, including Australia, to maximize their opportunities in an ever accelerating change environment.
