It’s like my entire life has been leading up to this moment…
The real winner of tonight's debate? ME! For managing to spread my "X loves Y like a basset hound love cheese" attempt-at-a-meme to an unsuspecting debate-viewing audience.

Twitter / groovylinks
I get annoyed with people who announce their every blog post in their Twitter feeds (if I’m interested, I’ll just subscribe to your blog). But curious to see if there’s a market for it, I’ve created a Twitter user which will announce new links on this site. Follow “him” to get notified.

Twitter / TweetTrak

Ahh good ol’ Tricky Dick. #current
Screenshot from the Current TV Hack the Debate promo. (Words put into my mouth by persons unknown).
Current will be screening the US presidential debates live on TV, with relevant tweets overlaid in real(-ish) time. It promises to be a hell of an experiment (not least for our broadcast team!) First debate: Friday September 26th.

Crowdsourced traffic reports, via Twitter. Of course, there’ll need to be another site tracking all the accidents caused by folks texting accidents to this site while driving…
