Twitter Goes Political with Election 08′

If you’ve been on Twitter for the last few months, you’ve probably noticed a few of your stateside followers in deep conversation about the upcoming election to replace President Bush. While we all have our own opinion on how the country has been managed, the good news is that finally some change is coming and this election will determine the course of our future. Even our friends overseas are watching closely to see just what will happen, for better or worse.

Twitter has gone the extra mile and included a “Twad” (Twitter ad) at the top of their site to keep users up to date on the election, fundamentally calling it Election.Twitter. At midnight last night, Election.Twitter went live, finally acknowledging just how popular, if not important, this topic has been on their micro-blogging service. The site will be very familiar to long time Twitter users, except for one big difference. “What are you doing?” is being replaced with “What do you think?”, opening the floor for debate, discussion, disagreement, and speculation.

To get the low down on what is going on, stop by get involved, and get informed!
