We lurves the Facebook parodies. Here's Genesis on Facebook, and here's Pride and Prejudice. [thx Nancy]
Is your Congressperson wasting his or her staff's time on social media, corresponding with a lot of 15 year olds about the latest Weezer album or what have you, instead of working hard and earning your tax dollars? Find out with TweetCongress. Type in your zip code to see if your representative in Washington has a Twitter account. Then, come election time, you'll know exactly what you have to do.
Speaking of government reps on Twitter, this got posted yesterday at 4 pm by Arnold's staff. "BREAKING: Live press conference regarding state budget at 4:20pm at http://gov.ca.gov." Really? 420? Holy shit. We knew it had to be bad news if Arnold's staff felt they had to warn us to get stoned first. (And it was.)
Wouldn't TwitCongress be a better name?
I checked out my congresspersons. Only Barbara Boxer is listed as a Twit. I checked out her TwitStream (I'm sorry -- that sounds vaguely distasteful): Last update:
Just left Denver. Wow. Barack hit it out of the park last night. The atmosphere in that stadium was electric. 2:12 PM Aug 29th from txt
My comment: Woo-hoo! (Though I think Arnold's Twits are awesome.)
