Brooke Buchanan, McCain’s spokeswoman, and she said that not only has McCain starting using a Blackberry and Twitter, but it was all his idea. “He started using [a BlackBerry] in January,” she said. “And he came up with the idea to start Twittering in January. It’s a growing way to reach out to a lot of people.” Buchanan noted that McCain is fond of the expression “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” but added that “this was something he wanted to do and he’s got a little bit more time now.”
Gettin’ ready for 2012 ?
A thumbnail of what Twitter is, what it does, and why it is important and useful? Help.
Yep, needs to be cool and hip for 2012. Course by then the country might be wanting a “serious” candidate so he’ll lose again. Hopefully in the primary.
he’s always been a twit
Not always.
John, why don’t you just drop out of the Senate and spend your retirement years twittering?
so McCain is still alive?
I guess I’ll find out for sure when he votes to betray Conservatives and help Obambi gut more of our rights or raise our taxes. McCain has to really be miffed that Specter and Collins jumped ship before he could get his press conference set up on that last porkulus bill.
Twitter confuses a lot of newcomers because it really is as simple as it looks. You search for friends, or people you'd like to follow. Then you just answer the question “What are you doing’, or post any other particular thought, or even link.
My favourite part of FaceBook is reading everybody's status, and that's all Twitter is really - your status. Frame of mind. A little snapshot into your head.
The country will seriously be too “dumbed down” and too “government dependent” to have the majority of voters want serious candidates running for POTUS. And people can add to this the finite number of ways that the leftist majority also adds to their total voter rolls for the future(more cheating, illegal immigrants voting, almost all criminals being allowed to vote, successfully blocking conservative votes from being counted, etc.).
OK, I admit it.
I’m officially tired of John McCain.
He can go away now.
Now he’s twice the idiot.
Thanks for the quick overview. I also checked wikipedia.
I have used Facebook and LinkedIn for a few weeks.
I don’t see myself as being such a smart and interesting person, such that a lot of folks would want to know, moment to moment the answer to....
“....what are you doing?”
Like texting teenage girls.
It looks like we have reached a saturation point with this social networking capability, that it becomes ridiculous.
If the answer is “....I am riding in a cab with my friend Julie”...
then isn’t Julie interesting or important enough for your immediate attention?...
and similar feedback.
I picture busy politicos as TOO overwhelmed by information, to sit themselves and tweet, very much.
John McCain is not running again for Pres. He is having what fun he can, the remainder of his life.
He is entitled to tweet, twitter, or blackberry, or not—as he decides.
Seems as though he should’ve started doing this LAST February.
A dinkleberry gets a blackberry.
