A Blog Within a Blog With Twitter
Recently, we created a PoliGazette Twitter account in order to host a blog within a blog: if you look at the right sidebar (on the frontpage), you can see twitter posts from Hot Air, Instapundit, Jon Henke, Michael Merritt, Marc Moore, and of course me. We use PG Twitter to follow specific individuals and blogs, after which we automatically publish their Twitter blogs at our own website. It’s a new kind of feed, and truly something that sets PG apart.
In the course of the weeks we’ll add others to our Twitter blog – but we are extremely careful about who we follow. We want our Twitter Blog to be superb, not merely ‘good.’
Lastly, this Twitter account is not meant for you to follow. Just continue following me (more than a thousand of you already do), Marc and Michael separately. Our Twitter account is used only to create the Twitter blog in the right sidebar. That’s it.

PoliGazette Comments Policy
PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree.
Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate
these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors.
Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that
respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should
not be posted.
(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.
(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional
reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.
(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not
include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement
the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.
Did you use Yahoo! Pipes with this? But, you didn’t post tweets on that PoliGazette Twitter account. So do you teach people how to do this trick without posting any Tweets on the PoliGazette Twitter account?
Marc would have to explain it more. We don’t actually use the PG account to post Tweets, but to follow other Tweeters and pull feeds from those accounts.
