Introducing Minnesota’s streaming political Twitter machine!

Our brand-new streaming political Twitter machine, developed by PIM Web Editor (and lead Twitter guy) Dan Feidt, provides a quick & handy way to scan what’s buzzing among Minnesota’s ever-increasing crowd of Twitter messengers. Dozens of sources, including legislators, 2010’s gubernatorial candidates, media outlets, government units, bloggers, are all now available through PoliticsinMinnesota.com. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s a great way to keep these tweets coming to your desktop. Just hit reload to refresh it. (You can even shrink it by hitting Control-hyphen, to keep it compact.)

The machine complements PIM’s new 2010 governor’s race grid, the free Morning Report, the Weekly Report, and the Directory. For more political outlets check out our blog directory and the statewide media directory. For breaking news & political chatter, check out @PoliticsMn on Twitter.

This array was developed from the public mnpoltwitter Wiki page set up by the Pioneer Press’ Rachel Stassen-Berger (@PolAnimal). To get your Twitters added to the machine, new Twitter participants should add themselves to the Wiki & drop us a line @PoliticsMn or dan@politicsinminnesota.com! [And yes, more categories of Twitter accounts are on the way!]
