Isn’t that funny? The US Government is sending out very important information to the public via Twitter. At first it sounds kitsch and funny but on the other hand, it just shows how Twitter is far more than a social networking site for stalking your favourite celebrities and telling the world what colour dress you’ll wear today, it’s a public and very open forum where information can be passed to anyone with internet access. You can TWEET THE GOVERNMENT BACK (that’s crazy)! Twitter is like a 24/7 newspaper or public forum for the entire world. Brilliance!
But yeah, the US Government and many other Government institutions tweeted about the Government shutting down for the day. Ha ha ha ha ha but seriously. Future.
The federal government is currently shut down.
