we also have the upper hand with free republic :)
I've been on twitter for about 15 days and have approx 250 fellow conservative “followers” only a couple of whom are also FR members
I disagree with those who feel its a waste of time -
IMO especially in the upcoming 2010 and 2012 election cycles the various state and national conservatives / Reps who fail to make a robust network via twitter for rapid communication to supporters will not succeed as well as they otherwise might (given the rapid news cycle)
Twitter / tweets not about “expounding” of ones personal views with 140 characters -- but rather making certain that all conservatives are rapidly aware of and share links to latest set of news events - helping to create a buzz that makes it onto Fox News within a matter of a few hours
