Last night’s vice presidential debate was yet another example of how Twitter has become a great companion tool for live events, what few are left in this DVR-driven world.
I’m usually a multiple web browser tabs kind of girl, but I didn’t even bother checking out any live blogs (non-microblogs) during the debate. That would have slowed down my Twitter reading comprehension.
Finally, Twitter’s community aggregation election pages have too many speakers for my taste (and the lightning-speed scrolling makes my eyes hurt.) Instead, I spent the time tweeting with my buddies – most from real life. It’s like like having my friends over, but without having to buy so much beer.
