This election saw both political parties building strong web presences and utilizing social networking sites (and some mobile, too!) Candidates and their supporters actively participating in facebook, twitter, myspace and other social networking sites: advertising, building networks, and well... campaigning!Although I'm not particularly fond of the term web2.0 (what happens when we get to web20.0?), there is no doubt that the information/technological revolution has been a major shift in the U.S.

I can't cover ALL of the stuff that I read that is interesting, so I thought I'd do a quick roundup from my google reader box (today's topic: twitter!).

Okay, I'm not the biggest twitter fan, but I think this does a good job of explaining how twitter works.

So, I'm in the middle of a twebinar called Game Changing Moves: Who Really Owns Your Brand?Anyhow, so it's a webinar with a twitter element thrown in and I am taking a break. The topic is interesting (branding in the web2.0+ world), but I think this might be more multitasking than my brain can handle. I'm having a hard time watching the video feed, listening to the audio, and reading the ongoing companion stream of quickly appearing dialogue going on via twitter.

All~I've burned the feed for contentdivergent at feedburner so that I can also blog (without doing any work!) on my facebook page. For those of you who subscribe via bloglines, google reader, thunderbird, etc. if you don't see any updates in the next few days, please let me know. I don't think this will cause any problems to your ability to receive new postings, but I'm not sure about that.As for those of you who may read my mirror (and test!) blog at wordpress.com, I'm still trying to find a way to post to both blogs at the same time. I've read that twitter will do this.
