The Bryant Park Project (Twitter feed here)now has an inner core of over 200 “Diners” – this in a week. As Twitter gains a hold, BPP are also looking at how Twitter affects the political process. Here is the Twitter reality of the Primaries as compiled by Laura C <!– –>

I’m scrounging around for legitimate Twitter feeds from the presidential candidates. So far, my list looks like this:

Ron Paul, @RonPaul2008, with 822 followers
John Edwards, @johnedwards, with 4,282 followers
Barack Obama, @BarackObama, with 6,654 followers
Hillary Clinton, @hillaryclinton, with 197 followers

What do make of the Obama/Clinton result here?

What could Twitter do to bring younger voters back?

How might Twitter affect politics?

Update – Here is Lee Siegel talking about how BPP is using social media – Lee talks about how the “Cup Cake” is a refuge. Don’t understand – check the link

Update – Here is Andy Carvin with more on the Diner
