US Presidential Candidates Debate on Twitter
Well it SAYS it is an Obama/ McCain Twitter Debate, however, it is really some of their advisors. However, there is a "twitter" debate between the two candidates nonetheless.
How does it work?
How to play along:
1) You can "follow" all three particpants via Twitter:
2) Or you can search for their Tweets on Summize, using the "#pdfdebate" tag as a search term. (See Twitterfan wiki on how hashtags work -- this means you don't have to be on twitter to follow it.)
3) Third option: A "Tweetboard" which lays out all of the players, side-by-side. (They listed this third option -- how to do this -- I have no clue - there is no link.)
I wish the candidates themselves were answering the questions, but then again, I'm not sure that they ever really do anyway.
