The boss man has written about twitter and how all the cool kids are using it.

Twitter is basically designed as a social networking tool, one of many on the net these days. It basically lets you post short snippets of what's happening and folks who want to keep up with you can "follow" your tweets. Oh, and you can use instant messenger utilities or your mobile phone to follow the feeds.

All of that seemed a bit esoteric to Scoop (How many times a day can we post "Was staring at the ceiling, nodded off, caught self before chair tipped over, went to get Diet Pepsi") but we may have found a use that you folks might be interested in.

We've created a Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/NandRPolitics) that merges the RSS feeds or our three political blogs (Scoop, Capital Beat and Decision 2008) as well as the feed for our Government news page. (Shout out: the feed was created with twitterfeed.com.

If you your a Twitter user, let me know what you think.

Even if you're not a Twitter user, you can use raw link to catch up on our posts if you've been out of town or want to see what we've been up to over night. It's really nothing more than another way for us to get content to you, but some folks seem to prefer it. If you check it out, please let us know whether you find it useful.
