Chris Charabaruk Online: Twitter and the Federal Election

    Twitter is changing the game - last night was just a preview. CBC gets some kudos for at least acknowledging Twitter last night, but they have a lot of work to do for the next election. Enjoyed the discussions with everyone!

    This link provides all the hashtags used by tweeters for last night's election. It's a better link than the direct Twitter Search link in the article above, but given the tone of article I decided to stick the actual search link in a comment instead.

    Some people are still posting election news using #canadavotes, and in fact that tag was trending for a few hours last evening, as election coverage was heaviest. At some points, there were between 20 and 30 tweets per minute using that tag and keeping the discussion going.
