By now this is old news by now but I was way more into tweeting about it than writing about it (which begs the question, is tweeting taking over blogging… to be addressed at another time).
Two of my favorite companies in the world, Current.tv and Twitter have joined forces to integrate Twitter messages into the live television broadcast of the 2008 presidential debates. The program, Hack the Debate, will feature actual user tweets on the screen during airing of the debates (Comcast channel 107). Here are the details on how you can get involved:
How to PARTICIPATE:
1.Tune in on September 26th at 9pm EST/ 6pm PST for the Live Presidential Debate. Find Current TV on your local cable/satellite provider or come here to watch the live stream of our broadcast.
2.Make sure you’ve registered with Twitter to participate.
3.During the debates, chime in by including “#current” in your tweet. Example:
4.”This discussion about universal healthcare makes me want to pop some pills! #current”
5.You can follow along with other Current tweeters here by following #current on Twitter search.
6.If you have any questions about participating, send us a tweet @current.

Thanks for posting about the Current + Twitter debates! Only a little more than a week away, and we’ve been testing, testing, testing away.
BTW — the new blog design looks awesome!
