San Francisco’s mayor to check out just what everyone is all atwitter about

Mon, Mar 9th, 2009

It seems that nearly everyone is on Twitter these days. And one of its fastest growing uses has to be in the political sphere, where we find members of Congress tweeting live from President Obama's speeches. So it should be no surprise that the mayor of the city in which Twitter (the company) resides, San Francisco, is taking an interest in the service.

San Francisco's mayor Gavin Newsom is heading to Twitter's headquarters tomorrow to meet with their team. How do I know? He tweeted about it. And so did Twitter chief executive Evan Williams.

From what I can gather, it's just a general meeting to determine how San Francisco's government can best use technology like Twitter. Both Newsom and Williams are asking for feedback from their Twitter followers (Newsom has 39,701 and Williams has 239,128 - but who's counting? Yes, sadly, everyone.) to use in the meeting.
