As we celebrated the Inauguration of President Obama (love typing that…) yesterday I, of course, was hanging out on Twitter. During his speech I was moved a couple times to grab a quote and post it.
“restore science to it’s rightful place” WOOO!
and
“our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.”
I quickly realized I wasn’t the only one doing it. These are from my tweet stream alone (I currently follow 430 people), there were hundreds, maybe thousands more throughout Twitter. Interesting how many of us did this, and what we chose to quote!
(you may ask where the dissenters are. I admit my followed list leans left but I do have a number of conservative Twitter friends. I didn’t see much dissent in my stream at all.)
Update Jan 22: Check out this cool twitter visualization of the inauguration!

I meant to tweet but instead I watched and took it all in.
