Sherpa! Blog

At Sherpa! we often argue the merits of various web marketing tactics, particularly social media — twitter, second life, facebook. Today we stumbled upon the Twitter and Twittervision Google Mash-up.

While nothing grand displays (how grand can you make 162 characters?), it was “neat” to see real-time responses from people about Super Tuesday — while in line at the polls or perhaps just after.

Will it make money? No. But it is an interesting, fun way to see how people are using technology to connect and talk.
