Watch the Presidential Debate tonight, network of your choice, though it's my duty and ethical obligation to encourage you to watch anything other than Fox News.
While watching, follow the debate on a social media of your choice. The most popular will be Twitter and Facebook.
For Twitter, you can find popular hashtags online. The official Twitter hashtag is #debates.
For the uninitiated this might be confusing at first. What will help is having the ability to watch or listen to the debate in real time while using hashtags that relate to the content. These may include #taxes, #deficit, #healthcare, and #lyingsack.
On Facebook, follow the feeds on the candidate's pages.
Take a few notes, or better, a few screen shots of the feed you're following. What debate rhetoric stirred things up socially?
At the end of the evening, post your thoughts on your blog. This is a great artifact to see social media in action and to actually become a part of it.
