I’m starting to better understand the value of Twitter, beyond quick-blogging with a list of friends. KPBS in San Diego, my hometown, is using Twitter to provide fire updates. The platform seems to be benefitting both KPBS (who also puts the feed on their home page) and the Followers.
Twitterer Nate Ritter is doing something similar.
I stumbled upon the Mitt Romney political video from the direction of a parody:

Hmm, a new word, sounds like “caliphet.” Unfortunately, the Google search [define:caliphet] didn’t help me out. [caliphet] wasn’t much help either.
I tried ["jihadist *" +romney] and bingo, the apparent proper spelling, caliphate, showed itself. While I would have liked “do you mean Caliphate?” to have shown up, I know I have the means to get to an answer in a reasonable fashion with a Google search. Of course I’m biased, but it’s of great comfort to know tricks that work.
