Current TV and Twitter “Hack’d the Debate”!

September 27th, 2008

By Billy Hallowell

DON’T forget to check out Dick Morris’ commentary — extremely interesting.  But this post is about a very cool collaboration that’s been forged (and not about specific commentators).  A few days ago, I wrote about Current/Twitter’s new electoral relationship.  Their very cool “Hack the Debates” initiative kicked off last night and VoterWatch was there to participate.  VoterWatch Twitted comments about the presidential debate on behalf of the Bob Barr for President Team, CovertRadio and other Presidential Debates Project partners.  If you aren’t familiar with Twitter, be sure to check it out.

While Current didn’t sign on to annotate the debates using our player, we joined forces with them to disseminate information about their project as well as a link to their recap of what went down during last night’s debate.  Check out what happens when television and Twitter mix.
