Those who say that Twitter and humour have no impact ate their words today. In Mumbai, which saw poor voter turnout till quite late in the day, social media made its power felt, as celebrities and aam aadmis joined hands to exhort their fellow citizens to vote, despite multiple instances of names missing from lists. Here are the tweets through the day which made sure Mumbai and Chennai were pricked into ending up with an average, rather than dismal, voting percentage: Democracy - Offline era: Vote. Online era: Analyse candidates, and vote. Social era: Analyse candidates, and tell everyone else to vote. — Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) April 24, 2014 Mumbai.even Thakur voted!
