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!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mack Male</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:12:32 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Twitter and the Federal Election</title><link>http://archive.chris.charabaruk.com/node/1394#comment-3072101</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=+%23ormistonvote+OR+%23elect+OR+%23canadavotes+OR+%23cdnelection+OR+%23canadavotes08" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title=" #ormistonvote OR #elect OR #canadavotes OR #cdnelection OR #canadavotes08 - Twitter Search"&gt;This link&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris Charabaruk</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:06:33 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
