President’s Twitter Town Hall

Good coverage of the Twitter Town Hall:

• Plenty of 140-character questions, few new answers in Obama’s Twitter town hall, by Joseph Marks, NextGov (07/06/2011).

  …fewer than two-dozen questions asked during the 75-minute town hall included one question by [the Speaker of the House] and [one from a] New York Times columnist.

  …White House staff posted several Tweets to summarize a single answer, sometimes leading to strange non sequiturs…

• The ‘Twitter Town Hall’ that so really wasn’t, by Megan Crepeau, Chicago Tribune (July 7, 2011)

  Obama’s event wasn’t really Twitter, and what’s more, it wasn’t really a town hall.

The event itself and all the tweets can be found here:

Is anyone archiving this for posterity?
