Twitter Week in Review – 28 June through 5 July

by Jim Duncan on July 5, 2009

Why do I post these summaries of my weekly Tweets? Simple – I want the content here on RealCentralVA.com, and not just on Twitter. I consider these tweets to be my (occasionally intellectual) property, and I would much rather have them here – a place I own and control – than solely on Twitter.

  • Wondering if @tomperriello would support this transparency bill – http://bit.ly/3eiqft #
