getting noticed

It may be too late to join the race but if you have already added your name to Toronto's list of nominees it's not too late to get noticed in social media (even if the other media is ignoring you) but you do need a twitter or facebook account and go door to door. On my twitter account I have up to 20 lists the most popular are: councillorsCity of Toronto Councillors running for election in the 2010 #voteTO race mayorCandidates in the 2010 October Toronto Mayor Race (official primary or active twitter account)mayorallToronto Mayor Candidates in the 2010 October Race, includes duplicates and their campaign managerstdsbToronto District School Boardmayorless3all the Mayor Candidates found on twitter excluding the 3 in the media all the time (removed the 2 that withdrew after the deadline) 
I also have created 2 ward lists and follow any lists that I have found for candidates in other wardsv4tw10Following #voteto candidates running in Ward10 Toronto (and/or TDSB York Centre) use #v4tw22v4tw22Candidates running in Toronto's St Paul's ward22 use #v4tw22 to promote your tweet@nealjennings/to-ward-27-candidatesPlease let me know of any others with lists for candidates in other wards as twitters limit is 20 and Toronto has 44 wards  

New Poll Best Way to get attention

With very few days to join the race the (nomination period will close at 2 p.m. on Friday, September 10, 2010)  there are 33 Mayor candidates not getting a lot of coverage as of 6th Sept 2010 there are 38 Mayor candidates, 27 (or 71% ) have been found with a twitter account and 10 without. I have been tracking the Mayors different ways on twitter

1. By following them on my other twitter account @TorontoVote
2. By adding them to various lists @torontovote/mayor which includes only their primary or personal account @torontovote/mayorless5 all the above candidates excluding the top 5 in the Media and @torontovote/mayorall which includes any twitter that might be a mayor or a Campaign team account @torontovote/mayorall
3. ReTweeting (RT) Platforms, initial announcements they are running upcoming events they are or will be at.
4. Finding and identifying those that are Hosting or Tweeting events Live with my list @torontovote/votetolive

If anyone one is aware of any Councillors, Trustees or Mayor Candidates that are on twitter and are not listed or followed (mostly mayors) by me yet let me know and I will add them so they can be found faster

The City of Toronto even has a twitter account (without realizing it) only 1 letter longer than my own http://twitter.com/torontovotes and they encourage but do not enforce candidates updating their contact information online.

@torontovote Toronto Elections can't post candidate info 'til they sign/submit a "Consent to Additional Methods of Public Disclosure" form3:59 PM Aug 19th via HootSuite in reply to torontovoteRetweeted by you and 2 others
So if candidate doesn't have a Website, Twitter or Facebook Account do they deserve your vote in the off chance they find you at home and you answer the door when they call?
So take my Poll and let them know how you prefer to find out their views/platforms.
