Entering the Age of the Tweet

For those of you who have been hiding under a rock or such and have not heard of Twitter.com, its time for a change. (though its hard not to notice Twitter with CNN's Rick Sanchez around & replacing CNN's news ticker with a Twitter ticker) After joining Twitter only about 2 months ago, I now find it hard to NOT update my Tweets every few hours.


Check out this blog post about Twitter by Nancy Scola and Allison Fine:

I myself just wrapped up a piece for Alabama Public Radio on exactly how the internet is changing political campaigning and the American public's role in news gathering. (I will post the link to listen once it is aired sometime next week)


The internet as a whole is changing the face of politics as we know it...prepare yourself world.
