Cities use social media sites to reach residents

Utah cities are finding new ways to connect with residents — in 140 characters or less.
As social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and blogs become more socially acceptable for government entities, several Utah cities are using the sites to spread the word. From city council meetings to a real-time feed of the mayor's whereabouts, social media is making The Man look more human.
"It's a really easy way to broadcast your message to a large group of people," said Aarom Crim, West Valley City spokesman. "We can reach this whole new audience."
Crim, president of the newly formed Utah Association for Government Communications, has been researching the use of such mediums for city agency use. The group is creating a formal policy for government use on such sites.

Or you could read it that they are finding ways to exclude the citizens that do not subscribe to social sites.
There is a real possibility that they get carried away with new technology, thinking that because they subscribe, everybody does.
The result is that the old and poor get disenfranchised because they cannot use or cannot afford the technology.
