Candidates have embraced cyberspace like never before, with the UUP setting up a dedicated campaign website, complete with Foyle candidate Peter Munce's blog about his adventures on the election trail.
Sinn Féin has welcomed the e-revolution as well, with videos on the YouTube site, and entries on the MySpace and Bebo social networking boards while the party's chief negotiator Martin McGuinness is launching a special South Belfast web site today.
