These screenshots of the two democratic candidates’ twitter accounts were taken February 27, 2008 (a search for John McCain on Twitter did not return any results).

Listen to a podcast of the MacArthur Foundation sponsored forum, How is digital media changing kids and learning? held December 12, 2007 in Cambridge, MA and in Second Life. The line-up included Henry Jenkins, Katie Salen, and Howard Gardner.
