Twitter hosts Election Coverage

By Ashley

While watching the Presidential Debate on Thursday evening, I discovered yet another social media tool to aid in my viewing. I frequently read updates on the Huffington Post during debates and speeches, but as you all know I am a Twitter advocate, and was excited to find the specific election Twitter feed. By simply leaving my window open throughout the debate, I was able to read insight, comments, and critiques from people all over the world. Unlike my own personal feed, the election feed displays tweets from anyone that makes a political comment, rather than simply friends and colleagues that I follow. In addition, at the top of the screen, updates from both political candidates are posted, as they both have members of their campaigns Tweet for them everyday. How tech savvy of them ;)

I urge you to check it out. It’s a great way to see what other people are saying about the campaign and candidates as well as an example of how Twitter works if you are new to it.
