Twitter Makes a Capital Hire
One of the signs that a young company is reaching puberty is the development of its political organ, and by that measure, our little Twitter is growing up. The company has hired its first Washington, D.C., employee—Adam Sharp, an executive producer at C-SPAN and former top staffer for Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). Sharp will not be serving as a policy lobbyist but rather an evangelist/liaison/facilitator, helping members of Congress and the executive branch use Twitter to connect with constituents.
