Who knew this day would come so soon?
Now you can not only be connected with Twitter while you read your favorite newspapers but also visit the Twitter edition and see what news people are following and post your own tweets.
The Huffington Post has a Twitter edition for their politics section that shows the users what many politicians are tweeting, what other users are tweeting and allows you to tweet on the site. It allows comment on most of the pictures, articles or videos. My favorite part is the “Hot on Twitter” section. It shows the user what political controversy that people are tweeting about and before the user even clicks to check it out, the site shows how many comments have been made already in big lettering.
The site is informal for a political site but that is what makes it awesome because contrary to rumor, politics are not a topic that only gray-haired people discuss. I was sitting in a room of twenty somethings last night that were in a heated debate on whether the healthcare reform would help or hurt the U.S.
Twitter editions are perfect for a quick read and browsing for others thoughts and opinions. This innovative project is another way the media business is showing the public how it is working to create what the public wants.
