It's presented in a misleading way (of course, this is W we're talking about, they always have to claim credit where it isn't due) but this is actually a really interesting dataset.

It's really remarkable that *none* of these European politicians are on European hosts, and also none (that I see) use official domains as handles. This should be standard practice for official representatives and government entities.

I'm surprised they didn't include stats for MEPs and EU commissioners and staff, where they would actually have done much better as many of those are actually on W.

It's a shame they didn't release the data for further analysis / better presentation. I presume they have contacted all these people to suggest they join W… but either way, perhaps Eurosky should do the same?

Always spot on. The reason they can't, the reason why wsocial is pushing so hard for "verification", is because official reps can't unless the "service/apps they/we share have an "official" verification. e.g. See if this demo works. Hit the Sign In button. ecas. interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu
