Election Twitter

I forgot to post last week about Election Twitter, an aggregate of all the ‘twitters‘ about McCain and Obama.  On election night, it was great to see the constant stream of fragmentary thoughts from around the world, a visual buzz of humanity’s collective consciousness, as it becomes aware that something historic is happening.

Barack Obama is being hailed as the first Internet President, and his administration looks to be taking tech issues seriously, so perhaps the election twitter is one of the more appropriate artefacts of that particular historical moment.
