Anyone else obssessed with following #wiunion on Twitter?
I've been recovering from flu and planned to hang out and watch tv all day, but instead, I'm watching this twitter feed.

Noticing interesting trends. While most tweets are supportive of protesters, about 5 people seem to be attempting to "set everyone straight" about how horrible those teachers and other state workers are. While the protesters write witty and often insightful insults, the "set them straight" group uses hashtags like #UnionWhores

6. It's truly amazing. Almost like being there. No media filter. Just people who are there.
I'm considering driving over to my dad's (an hour away) just to get him on so he can watch it unfold.

17. Twitter has really made a difference in my political awareness
I've always followed the news closely, but now I'm like a hawk. Something happens and I know about it. I absolutely LOVE my twitter.

13. Do it as a Google search, then click Realtime in the left sidebar
You'll get a scrolling feed that continually updates.
