A Republican U.S. presidential debate is set to hit the Twitterverse on July 20.
While those following the debate will be able to do so on their regular Twitter clients, it will also be hosted on an additional site that will display tweets by the moderator, debaters and members of the public in separate streams. Organizers, which include Andrew Hemingway — chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire — hope this will allow for a public conversation on Twitter that won’t get drowned out by its observers.
Adam Green, founder and CEO of 140 Dev, LLC — a consulting company that specializes in the Twitter API, helped create the debate platform, which will appear on 140TownHall.com. (The site is currently only in demo mode.)
