Google have teamed with Twitter, a social networking site that lets users to send “tweets” ( text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) to the Twitter website using SMS (text messaging) or widgets like Twitterrific, to cover Super Tuesday in the US.
Super Tuesday, in the US, is a Tuesday in early February or March sometimes of a presidential election year when the greatest number of states (24 this time) hold primary elections in which voters officially choose their party presidential candidates. Google and Twitter will give users instant updates on Super Tuesday and users will be participating by sending SMS’s of their voting or Super Tuesdays experience.
This is not all Google has install for users, they have made a Google Super Tuesday Map, on which you can watch updates (”tweets”), YouChoose ‘08 videos, a web gadget that tracks poll progress of the candidates in each of participating states. This should be fun for users in the US using Web 2.0 apps to the full. So get on your Twitter account and start “tweeting”.
