Join other Progressives - Use Twitter

[my2sense]

I just found a few sites that help connect progressives together on twitter.

More info here:

My friend and future “partner in crime” Tracy Viselli is one of the great people behind a new effort online called Tweet Progress. If you think Twitter is just a little diversion, think again — things are changing! Here’s Tracy’s guest post about why Tweet Progress is the new, new thing!

As a social media professional, I find myself constantly trying to explain the power to Twitter. And the way I frequently do this is by citing well known examples of parent bloggers using Twitter to influence the media and brands–examples like the Motrin baby wearing debacle and the more recent incident in which Dooce used Twitter to ultimately get Bosch to donate a free washer and dryer to a Salt Lake City homeless shelter.

Parents bloggers understand the power of Twitter well enough, as do many political bloggers, but not enough progressives online understand the activist potential of Twitter yet and that needs to change.

TweetProgress is a Twitter activist project I launched with partners Jim Gilliam, Jon Pincus, and Gina Cooper. TweetProgress is a directory of progressives on Twitter meant to provide the basic infrastructure for social action on Twitter. TweetProgress aims:

To help progressives find each other and follow each other on Twitter.
To encourage more progressives to use the Twitter.
To provide resources, tools, and guides to help progressives improve their use of Twitter for activism.
