Twittering Canada’s Federal Budget

Canada’s Federal Budget is rolling in, and one of the best ways to get a glimpse of the picture is through Twitter. @CBCNews just posted a number of “updates” on their Twitter Feed, which I thought made for a fun image. In TweetDeck you can set up groups of similar feed, in the image, I have a group called News, in which I track services such as CBC and the New York Times. Note the hash tag, #cdnbudget, which links to all of the search results for that tag on Twitter in real time. The other fun tool is TwitScoop, which shows the growth of discussion in the past hours.
