I awoke this morning following my most recent routine of checking my twitter feeds @FriendFeed. (not a New Years Resolution but a recent obsession) I used to check my emails first! This morning I decided to use the TweekDeck service to see if I recieved any replies to my reachout to invite responders to my New Blog. Be Cultural. Part of this new routine is to search keywords on Tweekdeck to follow conversations accross the Twitter World. I got one reply:
ylove @bcultral "any more info on your anti-racist social media project...I'm mad down and I know other Jewish rappers who would be too". about 15 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to bcultral
As a Community Organizer and Anti-Racist Activist I am obsessed with the issue of Racism. I have been afflicted with this obsession since birth and even more so when my life was threatened by KKK Racists some years ago in North Carolina. It was then that I decided to leave this Country. (please see my article)

This morning my search under keyword racism turned up the name Sarah Palin. I was shocked. Never in my wildest imagination would I have expected to see that name pop up in my search of racism. Well 2012Palin (twitter username) was sending out messages to her Twitter followers. (I thought)
The Twitter message read "Hoe Capitalism Defeats Racism: A group of Researchers at Brown have found that market forces pushed banks which .. http://tinyurl.com/...
My first thought was Hoe Capitalism? What is that? Some type of Imus connection? So I clicked on the link and was brought to a article. Actually I was brought to a website: Conservatives for Palin http://www.conservatives4palin.com/...
I became excited with this juicy insight into Sarah Palins twitter feeds. I made a few phone calls and sent out a few emails. I did not get any responses to my emails nor was I able to reach anyone by phone but my Father. My Father is not very excitable but this got him going. He suggested I contact Keith Olberman. I hung up the phone and just sat here and pondered what I could do with this information and how I could best get this information to the public. After thinking about it for awhile I thought I should further explore the situation. I went back to the Tweekdeck source and started to scroll back and check each link in each twitter feed from 2012Palin. I started at the beginning twitter and started to click on each link. What the links took me to were various blogs and one consistent website: Conservatives for Sarah
These are what turns out to be news feeds from 2012Palin:

Well after following these links and realizing that many of them went directly to Conservatives for Palin (11 of them), I realized I actually had mistaken the 2012Palin Twitter username as belonging to Sarah Palin. What a let down! I thought I had the inside poop in observing what was actually some type of News Feed. Dissapointed now but sensing I was on to something I went back and searched Sarah Palins name on Twitter. I thought I was following twitter protocol by not leaving spaces and this resulted:
6 results in 0.091 seconds Name results for: SarahPalin
Search for a username, first or last name
Did you mean sarahpalinfeed ?

Wow I thought. I really made a mistake. This could not be "the Sarah Palin". My earlier revelation under the racism search was not Sarah Palin but someone acting under her name sending out newsfeeds. Boy what a dummy. Disappointed and now questioning myself, realizing I had awakened to a wild goose chase. This humbled me and brought a bit of self shame. Yet I could feel something was official about this newsfeed. Alot of those links kept going to Conservatives for Sarah page which looked pretty official. Somehow 2010Palin was connected directly to Sarah Palin, somehow. So I decided to give it one more try and put the proper name in twitter search. Jackpot!

Wow again! Wow and overwhelming. I really made a mistake thinking I had come upon the lone Twitter username of the genuine Sarah Palin. This was way too much. But then I looked again harder at the "followers" of these different Sarah Palin usernames. How could I have made such a blunder in my thinking. Sarah_Palin had 5,171 followers. Twitter only allows 2000 followers per username. So I had found the "real" Sarah Palin. Or had I? It dawned on me that perhaps her well wishers and/or auxilary support team were making use of multiple username versions of Sarah Palin for different purposes. I guess I was not awake when I saw the Racism search results that included 2012Palin. So I did a search of Sarah_Palin on Twitter and from the messages being sent to the Gov, I realized that Sarah_Palin was the actual personal Twitter for Sarah Palin. And with all the others came the realization that Sarah Palin uses multiple usernames for multiple reasons. I also realize by the bio links that there was a consistent destination. That being Conservatives for Sarah Palin.
