Ok, here goes one of my very few and far between vanities.
Twitter is a social networking tool that is used by quite a lot of people. Recently the owner of this site posted a story on Twitter being used by the liberals. Twitter is for everyone, it just depends on who uses it. Since it is a simple tool, I feel that it can be utilized for Conservative needs as well. I know of a few FReepers who are on Twitter, including myself.
Twitter can be productive to our movement in any number of ways. Local chapters of FreeRepublic can send out a Tweet (what messages on Twitter are called) and mobilize forces of good far quicker than pinging their lists as not everyone is signed onto their computers every minute of the day. Twitter can send a message to a users phone and since everyone carries their phones with them while out, the message would get out faster.
Another way is that a general FR Twitter ping list could be kept and the list notified on Twitter of breaking news stories on FreeRepublic.
The possibilities are endless as Conservatives are very ingenious, so we could come up with a myriad of ways to use this tool to our benefit.
So I would like to set up a Twitter ping list here on FreeRepublic. If you are on Twitter and would like to make known your user name, just post it here and I will gather the names and with your permission, add you to my list of people on Twitter. And you can add each other as needed.
If this is a horrible suggestion, just say so, I'm not thinned skinned...lol.
Glad to hear that. :-)
