Yes, Twitter is a modern form of communication.
Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

It isn't like this is the only way Obama is promoting this... it is just one tool amongst many.
Having a web presence is very, very important. Good move.

I think there is still a lot we do not know about the power of twitter and twitter-like social media. Keep in mind this is a relatively young phenomenon. Is Twitter a reasonable way to contact representatives? No. There is no way of knowing if someone tweeting to a representative even lives in their district. I think what Obama is aiming for here is what many presidents have done in the past, and that's go around the media - directly to the people - and make a case for a program. Unfortunately, our republic has degenerated far enough into a democracy that such tactics work.
