We’re a-Twitter

Posted By Chuck Plunkett On February 2, 2009 @ 4:33 pm In Uncategorized | No Comments

Attention all you tech-savvy political junkies on the Internets: We’re tweeting.

The Post’s editorial board has created “PostOpinion” [1]on Twitter [2].com to send out alerts with links to new entries on our “Post-Ed Notes: Breaking Views [3]” opinion blog.

We’re considering also tweeting alerts with links to new editorials.

What we promise NOT to do is clutter your time with posts like: “Chuck is still reading the paper and it’s way past his deadline.”

So if you Twitter, check us out. (And stop reading right now, because you already know the rest.)

For those readers who don’t know what Twitter is all about and are interested, it’s easy to explain. (I know “tweeting” sounds a little juvenile, but turns out it’s good times, and a helpful way to organize your interests.)

If you visit Twitter.com, the website quickly walks you through how to set up a free account for yourself. You can then “follow” your friends and family and entities like PostOpinion [4] who have formed accounts.

They in turn can follow you, and you can let them know what you’re up to, or what you’re reading and find interesting (like PostOpinion!), etc.

This can be done on your smart phone or computer.

Many might associate the site with idle chatter. Tweets like: “OMG! I’m lost again!” or, “Who’s for coffee at 3?”

Sure. But the technology allows for plenty more serious postings.

Check us out at PostOpinion and follow us around.
