But Chris Christie? The two-fisted, political-corruption-fighting former federal prosecutor?
We might have suspected that, as part of his Republican campaign to replace Democrat Jon Corzine as governor of New Jersey he’d open a website. And he has www.ChristieforNJ.com
Maybe he’d even go so far out on the social-media limb to try a blog. And he has www.ChristieforNJ.com/blog
Chris Christie surpassed our e-networking expectations when he opened a page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=21913187145
But never did we suspect that he’d hitch his star the very latest and coolest web phenomenon. But he has.
Yes, Chris Christie is twittering. (Do I hear imprisoned felons snickering?)
If you’re a fellow twitter-er you’ll find Mr. Christie at: www.twitter.com/ChristieforNJ
His site went live this morning at around 11:30.
[Attention: All social networking has its perils. Mr. Law and Order’s welcome message today was proximate to a “tweet” from someone named DaveyBarrett who declared to the Twitter world: “Is in New Jersey. What the f__ck. Haha!”]
Remember, you read this momentous news here first at EnviroPolitics Blog.
In the interest of full disclosure, we must admit that this very message is probably already on its way, via the latest web app pipeline, to our (gulp) Twitter page. Yes, boys and girls, we, too, have been bitten by the twitter bug.
We don’t know yet if it’s fatal. You can find us at: http://twitter.com/frankbrill
Are you on Twitter? What do you think of it? And is this a good move on Mr. Christie’s part?
