Barack Obama’s campaign let Twitter down

So it’s the day after a really historic election: the first guy with a Twitter account to be elected as president!

What an awesome chance to send 140 characters of hope, change, dreams, opportunity, you name it. It’s so exciting!  Me personally, I’d have picked “Yes We Did!”  That would have been so cool, and people would have been retweeting it like crazy.

So what’d the campaign post when he won?

Nothin’.

Here’s his Twitter stream as it still looks the morning after the election:

As a fellow Twitter user, regardless of my political alignments, I feel kinda bummed out about the campaign letting the ball drop like this.  They’d been really bangin’ out the tweets up til the election.  Why stop now?  I hope this isn’t one of those “changes we can believe in.”
