While suggestions have been made that the conversational aspects of the microblog could serve to instigate online deliberation between equals, rather few studies have investigated such claims empirically. This paper presents such an empirical study, based on a large-scale data set of tweets concerning the 2011 Danish parliamentary election. By combining state-of-the-art data collection and analysis techniques with theoretically informed matters for discussion, we provide an assessment of political Twitter activity among high-end users of the microblog during a one-month period leading up to the election. Identifying a series of user types, findings indicate that while the bulk of the studied activity bares characteristics of a representative public sphere, traces of a participatory public sphere were also discernedO uporabah popularne mikroblogerske storitve Twitter v politične namene potekajo razprave tako med znanstveniki kot med političnimi poznavalci. Pojavile so se domneve, da bi konverzacijski vidiki mikrobloga lahko prispevali k spodbujanju spletnega posvetovanja med enakimi, vendar se je le malo študij lotilo empiričnega preverjanja te domneve. Članek predstavlja tako empirično študijo, ki temelji na zajetni bazi tvitov o danskih parlamentarnih volitvah leta 2011. S kombinacijo podatkovne zbirke in analizo podatkov s teoretičnimi temami za razpravo, članek ocenjuje politično aktivnost na Twiterju med bolj usposobljenimi uporabniki mikrobloga v mesecu dni pred volitvami. Rezultati z ugotavljanjem tipov uporabnikov razkrivajo, da ima večji del analiziranih aktivnosti značilnosti "predstavniške javne sfere", vendar so bile zaznane tudi sledi "participativne javne sfere"TEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaEvropski inštitut za komuniciranje in kulturo - EURICOM
