More than 1,400 Twitter users around the world took part in a US-government sponsored contest to define democracy and the most popular "tweet" was from a Chinese user, the State Department said on February 1, 2010. The two-week "Democracy is..." contest on the micro-blogging platform attracted submissions in eight languages from over 30 countries, and the "tweet" that was "re-tweeted," or forwarded, the most by Twitter users, was submitted by a Twitter user going by the handle "@zuola" from China who wrote "Democracy is a set of game rules that, in their gradual process towards perfection, independent individuals and organizations in a civil society seek to maximize their interests by using transparent and nonviolent means."
