Bridgewater council exploring social media


Bridgewater town councillors could be tweeting or liking statuses in the near future. Staff educated council members about twitter and facebook during their recent discussion session Monday night. Councillor David Mitchell says the time is now for council to get involved with social media.
"I think its one of those things that there's no sense in waiting. Social media is here, its not going away, there's just no sense in waiting, we might as well jump on the ship now."
Mitchell says his attempt to use social media last year to promote council's budget process didn't fly with members. He says social media sites like facebook and twitter would help promote Bridgewater.
