I used Twitter last night as one of The Telegraph's means of covering the election. Currently, the paper only has 75 followers, but I thought if nothing else the experience would be good practice for me and a good tool to show readers what is possible with the Twitter web site.
For those of you that don't know, The Telegraph is at http://twitter.com/altontelegraph. I encourage those of you who haven't to sign up for an ID and click to "follow us."
I posted 43 updates from 5:30 p.m. (ish) yesterday to 11 a.m. today. Those updates included advisories, full stories, notices about multimedia postings and notices about anything and everything I observed in the newsroom or on CNN.
I think it worked pretty well.
Check out our work at http://twitter.com/altontelegraph and at www.thetelegraph.com.
