A few weeks ago, popular blogger Robert Scoble posted a public question to Presidential candidate John Edwards. Using Twitter, Edwards responded within minutes. The idea of text conversations between celebrities has been around since Carnegie Mellon’s infamous and now-defunct Forum 2000, where artificially intelligent SOMADs representing Ayn Rand, Pikachu, George W. Bush, Jesus Christ, and others collaborated to answer questions from the public. [...] […] The understated interface of Twitter makes the playing field surprisingly level.

I asked him if it was a bot, or if he was just really fast, and he said, "FAST!". I guess he is really into the twitter thing. Congratulations to him.

I was happy to see so many candidates announce their running via YouTube and such, but what’s next. Where do you take the campaign from here? How do you FULLY leverage the conversation and embrace the community? That’s what I want to talk about. [...] […] I just watched what Senator Edwards did on Twitter and I’m still smiling from it.

And I think he's at home today: http://twitter.com/johnedwards/statuses/7450881. It's cool to see him respond so quickly from his dining room table, or wherever.
