Twittering Congressmen, Revealed

August 5, 2008

Finally, someone did the legwork and we're so, so grateful. Writer Ari Herzog has compiled an up-to-date list of all the members of Congress and/or their staffs who are using Twitter to correspond with constituents and the world at large. Twitter, he points out on his wiki, was created for Web users to exchange short blasts of information (no more than 140 characters) to answer the age-old question: "What are you doing?"

See his full list (after the jump). I'm sure Herzog will be updating it regularly given recent interest in the platform by those on Capitol Hill...
