It appears that Wilson's chosen defense strategy involves heavy usage of social media, including the reported hiring of a professional Twitterer. Along with reformed burglar, professional Twitterer is probably one of the more coveted jobs out there.
Consultant David All, a former director of communications for Georgia Representative Jack Kingston, bills his company as the "first conservative Web 2.0 agency." Since getting the call, Mr. All has been enthusiastically updating @CongJoeWilson's Twitter feed, although he falls short of deeming it ghostwriting: "He is certainly aware of all of the Tweets and understands the substance of all of the Tweets and what’s happening. He is not exactly pressing send."
Below are the videos of both the interjection during Obama's speech and Joe Wilson's rebuttal address he posted to YouTube. Let us know what you think in the comments: will Wilson's strategy of hyper-engagement through social media pay off? Will "Professional Twitterer" be the next great tech career boom?
