Why Twitter Matters & The Left Should Be Nervous
Check this post Why Twitter Matters & The Left Should Be Nervous from techPresident:
I have, for several months now, seen a string of posts and tweets from these same lefty friends that are either mocking or dismissive of the Conservatives nascent efforts on Twitter. Here’s one example courtesy of TechPresident’s own Micah Sifry.
“It’s positively quaint to listen to Republicans murmur optimistically about their “dominance” on Twitter. #polc09, #tcot, #p2″
The very first time I saw a comment like that, it reminded me immediately of comments I had seen and heard before. They were the openly dismissive comments directed by complacent and cocky Republicans at the Democrats efforts online. Average: 0 Your rating: None (from: Why Twitter Matters & The Left Should Be Nervous)
I continue to follow interesting blog posts about whether Twitter ‘matters‘ or not. What do you think? And how useful is the Twitter support (both posting and following) on BlogBridge for you?
I still miss the support of the OpenSource solution Laconica/identi.ca. AFAIK the API is the same as twitter so it should not be a problem to support Laconica.
With the announcement of status.net the hosted Laconica microblogging solution might become interesting for commercial purposes.
As my account http://identi.ca/m1 is the #1 solution to push notes around the world I am not using the Twitter feature in BlogBridge. Sorry.
