Last week we introduced our TPM Twitter Rooms, with ‘rooms’ for members of Congress for each party, ‘insiders’ of each party and the political press (we’ll be rolling out more rooms soon). The response was very positive. But many of you asked if there were a list where you could see who is in each room and who’s not. There wasn’t. But now we’ve updated the pages so you can see.
At the top of the page on each Twitter Room there’s a link that reads “See who’s in this room.” Click on that link and it will refresh with a list of everyone who’s included. Because of the underlying technology, the lists aren’t alphabetical. They’re listed in order of inclusion with the most recent at the top.
Now, our idea with these rooms has always been that they are works in progress. So we really want your help making them as complete as possible. In the Congress rooms, it’s an objective criteria. We want every serving member of the House and Senate with an active Twitter account. But obviously new people are signing up all the time. So check the lists and see if there’s anyone we’ve left out.
The lists for insiders of each party and for members of the press are more subjective. But take a look at those lists too. And please let us know if there are people we should include.
You can find the rooms permanently linked below the fold across from the TPM Masthead and here they are if you want to look right now …
Capitol Hill Dems
Capitol Hill GOPers
Democratic Insiders
Republican Insiders
Press and Bloggers
Also, one final note. I get the fun of announcing when we come out with a project like this. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t note that the work that went into this is courtesy of TPM Associate Publisher Al Shaw and TPM Research Intern Jillian Rayfield.
