In my opinion, Mayor Miller is using Twitter very smartly. His tweets are mostly related to the City and relevant its citizens, so people who follow him receive valuable information from his tweets, but he tosses in just enough personal info (time with his kids; going for a 5am run) that we get a sense of the person that he is. He's positioning himself as young and vital, passionate and engaged and all this will serve him well in his political career. I'm a Twitter newbie myself, I must admit, but from a communications perspective it is easy to see that the Mayor is on the right track. Hope your new venture is going well! Hey Mark.
