Okay I admit it! I've become a Twitter fan after diving into Social Media head-on. Been blogging for years and Webmaster for several web sites since the 1990's. But Twitter was a new thing I just could not wrap my head around. I wasn't sure how #hashtags worked. No idea what @reply was.
Finally broke the code this fall and I was off to the races. I wanted to get my voice heard during this crucial election season.
My fundamental belief is that DailyKos is a centerpiece of the new Social Media and an important hub and community of Democratic, progressive and liberals discussions. Probably much more effective than Twitter and other Social Media.
Below the squiggle are my favorite Tweets posted to Twitter after Joe Biden's Huge Debate Win.
I went into Twitter search and captured some of the best Tweets from last night and today post-debate. Using several #hashtags such as #vpdebate #biden #obama #biden I pulled these in for your reading pleasure. I'm sure you have already seen many of these Tweets but I brought them together in one thread.
PS: I was very one-sided on my selections and only choose those that were pro-Biden. Sorry, (Mr.) Ryan. (Not Congressman Paul Ryan. Snark.)
Enjoy Joe's victory!

When Donald Trump calls the debate a tie, that means Joe Biden mopped the floor with Ryan.

Hey #JackWelch, how do you like how "those Chicago guys" fixed up that #Biden situation? Eh..? Eh...? // ...
I hope Joe Biden is getting an extra $20 for babysitting tonight
My. Ryan - your office called. Time for bed. Past your bedtime. Let the grownups in the room finish this debate.
Sorry my Vice President won't be using all that hair gel. #Biden

This recession didn't fall from the sky, #Ryan created it by voting to put two wars on a credit card.

I believed that last night's Vice President debate was so crucial I was willing to LiveTweet the debate live on Twitter - kind of like LiveBlogging. Still participating in the DailyKos Liveblogging threads at the same time but I wanted to see if Twitter made a difference in the post-debate discussions.
At the end of this diary, I'm going to ask some questions of the community to get some other opinions of Twitter and other Social Media to see if anyone thinks they are as effective as regular old Internet.
