Twitter enhancers . . .

Tiago Doria tipped me off about The Wall Tweet Journal, giving up to the minute news about the microblogging portal. Tiago also likes to play with TweetLater. Lets him archive his tweets for delivery later. Is that fun, or what?

So, which are the Twitteratii that you follow who also follow you? Just as importantly, who isn’t following? My friend Dossy Shiobara created an app calledTwitter Karma just to give a simple answer this question. Give it a whack.

While I was looking around on Dave Winer’s site I found out that he didn’t leave Twitter because he wants to take part in this social media experiment, and that Hugh MacLeod is making internet headlines because he resigned from Twitter. Me, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. I enjoy what I learn through Twitter plus it ranks high on my Fun Factor scale by keeping me in touch with friends.

On Twitter Dave Winer mentioned that Obama was calling Pennsylvanians’ - and the nation’s - attention to the fact that it’s true that rural American people are angry and bitter as a result of patiently waiting 25 years for politicians they elect to stop selling them out and help them get their lives and their jobs back. I guess Obama became one of my heroes twice this weekend, because he told a really uncomfortable truth about American politics and refused to back off it. Then he admitted he was wrong for having made a poor choice of words when he originally made the statement.

Actually admitted he was wrong and apologized. I thought I was going to faint.

It seems like Hillary jumped as hard as she did onto the bandwagon playing the ‘Obama has made a mistake let’s crucify him’, song, because she’s made some pretty big mistakes of her own lately. What are those mistakes? Obama tells it much better than I can. Watch out for him saying at a bit after minute 4 that Hillary is making it sound like she’s Annie Oakley . . .
