Is Twitter a tweet tool for the useful idiots of the left?

Posted on 03/06/2009 11:21:13 AM PST by Jim Robinson

Just heard Rush mention that Twitter is a tool of the left. Obama & Co use it to "tweet" their millions of members with instant messages (propaganda). Don't know if this is true or not, but would be interesting to find out. Same goes for Facebook. Heard it was a leftist tool. And we already know Wiki is. Looks like the left is invading the Net. Prepare to repel boarders to starboard!

I think the right is going to have to start learning how to use all these tools. Twitter is hugely popular right now. The left seems to be much more savy at spreading their message through “mainstream” internet channels.

I’ve been toying with Facebook a bit and it is nice for keeping family together. I’d consider Twitter, but on AT&T you have to pay for text messaging and I don’t want to incur that extra charge at this time. AT&T needs to get with the program and put either lower the price for unlimited messaging or include it in higher end or family packages.

agreed about Facebook. I have been using it to share photos and communicate with my family in Michigan and 1st and 2nd cousins all over the country.

For me, Twitter is a quick communication tool to get a thought to a radio host, or Michelle Malkin, Karl Rove, etc.

Wikipedia is more complex of a problem.

Wikipedia is in effect a MSM outlet. It is fairly reliable when the topic is not political. When the topic has political implications, not so much.
