Twitter Rockin’ the DNC

August 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

While working in Boulder, it’s been cool to see the Twitters streaming across my feed from friends involved in the DNC. I don’t volunteer until Wednesday, so I love living vicariously through Twitter. Below are a sample of the Tweets I found on Twitter search with the #DNC08 tag. It’s great to see delegates, bloggers and traditional media using Twitter as a reporting tool. It was also clear that people though Michelle rocked the house according to people on Twitter.
