Twit v. Twit v. Twit

Perhaps I mean “Tweet.” In any case, representatives from the Obama and McCain campaign have agreed to participate in a little experiment in micro-politics over the weekend, taking part in a “Twitter Debate,” focusing on tech policy, as a preamble to this year’s Personal Democracy Forum conference in New York. If you want to play along, sign up at twitter to follow the three of us: @mikenelson (representing Obama), @lizmair (representing McCain) and @anamariecox (representing me). We’ll also be marking our posts with #pdfdebate, and you can catch up with the whole thing easily here at Summize.

Details to be found here. And, yes, this is the kind of thing I do with my weekends normally.
