How Norfolk County Council used Twitter to show a human face. Www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/sites/default/files/resources/Martha Lane Fox's letter to Francis Maude 14th Oct 2010.pdf. Welcome to alpha.gov.uk. E-petitions: the first 100 days. Last Saturday marked 100 days since the new e-petitions service was launched by GDS and the Office of the Leader of the House of Commons. The service continues to be incredibly popular -on average 18 people have signed an e-petition every minute since the service started. e-petitions also maintains a very high social and mainstream media profile, with significant television and press coverage, especially when a petition nears or reaches the 100,000 signatures threshold required to trigger a debate in Parliament. There isn’t much of a pattern in terms of traffic to e-petitions on a day to day or week to week basis, with the range of daily visitor numbers to the site fluctuating between 2,000 and 350,000. It’s also interesting to note that approximately half of all submitted e-petitions are rejected for failing to meet the service’s terms and conditions - including duplication, defamation and relating to things the government can’t act on.
