Slight tangent. There was a program on Dutch TV yesterday (we have elections now) and it appeared that just about 500 twitter accounts are doing much to influence public opinion. There were some script kiddy bots (one posting every 14 seconds from a wide range of pre-cooked responses), but a significant amount of the influencing came from pensionados. People around 75 years old (mostly male) having nothing else to do, and not anonymous but really very proud of their work.
