Help! In a media "dead zone" for Madison, WI updates
I can't get Facebook at work, and need some line on immediate updates on the Madison situation. Any help out there? The MSM is NO HELP (Surprise!) in this regard.

Might be leaving here sometime today for Madison again, for sure tomorrow. Even if this thing is passed, the is SO NOT OVER.

3. I appreciate the help, but don't 'tweet'
consider myself 'advanced' that I even Facebook (if that is now a verb). Will try Google news, but folks, like in Egypt, you have to be connected to a live source, with immediate updates.

I knew about the rally today, but thanks,

4. non-tweeters can read tweets
Edited on Thu Feb-17-11 10:34 AM by riverwalker
even at work. (my work blocks facebook and tweets, but there is a way to read them, on Google) I did this at work during the Egypt revolution. Go to Google main page. Type in "wisconsin" or "madison" or protests, anything related. Then on the far left screen is "Realtime". Click that and you can read realtime tweets. This will lead to the relevant tweets from protests. #solidaritywi
