President Obama Runs Twitter Town Hall
On July 6, Obama will take to Twitter to hold a digital town hall. The White House has set up a website (askobama.twitter.com) where people can ask questions and a dedicated Twitter account, @Townhall, where the event will take place. Moreover, Twitter is dropping its 140-character limit for Obama, allowing him to respond to questions in whatever length he desires. All other users will still be bound by the 140-character limit, Death and Taxes reported.
