During this evening’s Presidential debate in Nashville, I sat in front of my television twittering away. For me these debates are like sporting events. I get excited and cheer their answers, or make fun of them. It’s a good time. But tonight was even better because of the suggestion by Andy Carvin of NPR that we “dialtest” the debate using Twitter, and the support of a new website called Plodt which draws graphs based on Twitter messages. The result of this experiment was this graph:
This was a lot of fun, and I will definitely participate in the next stage of this experiment.
