I’ve long been an advocate of Twitter, especially for breaking news. Twitter certainly got a workout within the Mass Mutual Center today at the Democratic State Convention as delegates, journalists and campaigns tweeted rapid fire updates. For all of you not on Twitter, below is a slightly edited (i.e., where my phone’s autocorrect changed “Warren” to “warranty” without me noticing it) scroll of my Tweets from today. If you want to see the real stream plus link’s the the fuzzy photos I snapped from my seat, check out my Twitter feed and please consider signing up for the free service today.
