I wouldn’t know a Twitter from a tweeter, but apparently it’s very important
“I wouldn’t know a Twitter from a tweeter, but apparently it’s very important” – Hillary Clinton said that this week. As you can imagine, the twitterverse had a field day with that. “Oh, my – she doesn’t know what Twitter is!”
Can her critics answer simple questions relevant to the Secretary of State? …the name of the US Ambassador to Iran? Do they even know the names of the Iranian Presidential candidates?
I thank Mrs Clinton for knowing foreign relations and government. And she’s smart enough to know that widespread use of a specific communications technology is significant as the election protests occur.
Focusing her attention on enormous diplomatic problems does not make her a luddite.
