Twittering Iowa – innovative thinking by Patrick Ruffini

Patrick Ruffini blogged on Dec. 19th that he was shaking things up a bit – “Twittering Iowa

I would like to launch an experiment with Twitter on Iowa Caucus night. If you’re caucusing in Iowa on January 3rd, sign up for Twitter, make sure you have the mobile feature turned on for the night, and send a Twitter a text message with your caucus location and the results in 140 characters or less. If possible, please send your message from inside the caucus location as the vote totals are being announced. Make sure your tweet contains the word “caucus” or is prefixed “@IowaCaucus” so we’ll pick it up at the account we have designated for this purpose. We’ll be tabulating the results and providing a real-time tally of our totals in the Republican and Democratic Caucuses.

Wow – I have emailed this to my com padres at gazetteonline.com – I think they are going to pull the twitter feed into their caucus site.
