If you’re not on Twitter, this article likely won’t make a lot of sense. \u00a0Don’t worry about it.<\/p>\n
If you are <\/em>on Twitter, the main means of making sense of the torrent of commentary is the “Hashtag”. \u00a0It’s a little code with a “#” sign in front of it; by having Twitter search for hashtags you’re interested in, you can watch conversations and subjects that actually interest you. \u00a0For example, the Northern Alliance Radio Netwrok’s hashtag is “#narn<\/a>“. \u00a0The Star Tribune started a hashtag called “#Stribpol<\/a>“.for discussing politics.<\/p>\n The Twin Cities’ conservative alternative media – the mass of pro-liberty bloggers, weekend talk show hosts, tweeps and their followers whose networking has made it among the most potent alt-media scenes in the country – needs its own hashtag. \u00a0Much of the Twin Cities conservative alt-media’s conversation takes place either in fairly smallish hashtags aimed at niche markets – #narn, #LateDebate<\/a> – or in the big scrums like #stribpol and #tptalmanac, which are overrun with stalkers, creeps, and the liberal bobbleheads and chanting-point bots.<\/p>\n And I think we need a clearer channel, as it were.<\/p>\n And so I propose the #TCinMN hashtag<\/strong>: “Top Conservatives In Minnesota” (or “Twitter Conservatives in Minnesota”, it doesn’t matter). \u00a0There were a number of good suggestions – #MNCon and #MNLiberty. \u00a0But MNCon is too prankable, and MNLiberty is a lot of typing.<\/p>\n
