It's not just the locals ... twitter users everywhere are using the service to livesnark debates and other current events.

Current TV (available on Dish Network, DirecTV, and other places) will link up people posting to #current on Twitter during the debate by broadcasting those tweets on-screen.

We were evil enough last time, and it was just the locals. It's like a live, on-screen, collective drinking game.  Then again, we may need it to get through an evening's worth of Sarah Palin.

(I'm domesticat on twitter, but my updates are protected. I will give serious thought to un-protecting them during the debate.)

[hat tip to Jeff for discovering this program's existence.]

Wish I could take credit, but it was actually Catherine who tipped me off to this.
