Joe Scarnati joins the Social Network

Pennsylvania Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati has made the leap into social networking, announcing he has set up Twitter and Facebook accounts.

A top Republican leader in the state Senate, Scarnati said in a press release he will use the new mediums to "better inform not only the citizens of the 25th District, but the rest of the Commonwealth as well."

"Clearly it is important for voters to have information readily available to them and gain a better understanding of what is taking place in Harrisburg, as well as around the district," Scarnati said. "This is just another means to better notify the public of current actions."

Scarnati said his Twitter account will allow him to better communicate with voters in real time, while his Facebook page gives constituents the ability to view current photos, videos and audio files.

I don't think anyone has kept a tally, but I suspect there are still at least 100 current state lawmakers who are not using Facebook or Twitter. I'm not sure what they're waiting for.
