Out of touch? Congress? Well, maybe. It says a lot that a young U.S. Representative was teaching a class in social media to her colleagues today. Twitter only started in 2006, but thanks to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, some of her new colleagues are finally catching up. She taught a Twitter class this morning to all member of the Democratic Caucus.
Class was in session this morning! I was thrilled to offer some insights on Twitter and social media to my. colleagues this morning.
