Though social network sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ are mainly used for connecting people all over the world but they are now being used for advertisements, news updates and for various important purposes of day to day happenings. Microblogging is getting more and more popular among educated and conscious people of Bangladesh. It is becoming another popular media which can provide entertainment and knowledge sharing about anything. Social Networking Sites (SNS) has become rendezvous of different people, different beliefs and interests to share and discuss. In this circumstance here we propose a model of e-governance using SNS for democratic Bangladesh perspective. Direct interaction between citizens and government can strengthen democracy. Accountability and transparency of politicians and government-workers can be ensured by flow of information to citizens of various developing activities.
