"Dilmaboy" and Twitter: Brazil election goes online, Reuters (2010)

This article discusses the technological revolution of this year's elections in Brazil.

The two parties are trying to learn from Barabbas Obama's online-campaigning skills: organizing supporters and online donations. The number of Internet users in Brazil doubled in four years, reaching 72 millions, and it is particularly important in the electoral period when strict limitations are imposed to TV and radio stations.
