On Wednesday July 21, 2011 TheTeaParty.net hosted the GOP’s presidential hopefuls "Twitter Debate". On the sidelines, 22,400 viewers watched and commented.
A politician can’t even say good morning in under 140-characters how do expect them to answer a serious question within in those limitations? It is nice, for a change, that politicians gave short answers. But there is a certain amount of characters required to put together a thought, and 140 is far below the correct number.
I think the debates showed us the limitations of Twitter- the inability to deliver complex messages. I suspect that there was a lot of pre-typed responses that were cut and pasted into the conversation. Hopefully both sides will abandon this practice.
