Project: @FineGaelNews
Apr/093
This is one of my favourite projects and one I hope to replicate when I get a chance for a few other parties.
What is it?
@FineGaelNews is an account for those interested in Fine Gael, a political party in the Republic of Ireland.
What does it do?
It searches for news stories involving Fine Gael through a google alerts feed and posts them on twitter via twitterfeed. It also takes items from Fine Gaels PR RSS Feed and posts them on twitter via Twitterfeed.
How many followers?
@FineGaelNews currently has 60 followers and one of those followers actually thought it was an offical account! I won’t name names though!
I have found this account to be useful for myself in finding stories about Fine Gael and it seams to be popular among FG activits and political bloggers among its following.

its seemed more critical then not, i guess that shows the for fg need to pumping out their own digital headlines.
