How is twitter being used in the Australian elections? a good starting point is the University of Melbourne website which has a tour of the twitter sphere

The Canberra Times also has a social media ratings section where it compares followers for Abbott and Rudd on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.

The Yahoo and News 7 site is also mapping facebook mentions
Brand watch has an interesting report on social media and elections in Australia
Also informative is this recent report.
