US elections on Twitter

Amid all the other coverage (including, of course, our own) one of the fascinating places to watch the US election happen in front of your eyes is twittervotereport.com/, which updates constantly with input from all over the country (at least, where the polls are open) about the length of queues, any problems (or lack of them) in voting, and so on.

As Kevin Anderson, our head of blogs who is out there blogging and Twittering the election, puts it: "loving Twitter vote report. People can call or SMS. Fascinating 2008 innovation."

Yup - this may be the place where Twitter proves itself. Then it only has the little problem of actually turning a profit. (Though I've got ideas on that...)
