The Twitter exchange began with Booker posting a quote:
"An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics" Plutarch ancient Greek historian (c. 46 – 120 CE) — Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) November 19, 2012
Earlier today, Booker shared the challenge details with his followers:
I will document the #SNAPChallenge experience on @waywire @linkedin @twitter and @facebook 12/4 – 12/11 — Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) November 21, 2012
With more than 1 million Twitter followers, Booker is no stranger to Twitter fame. On New Year's Eve 2010, the mayor responded to a tweet from a 65-year-old man who needed his driveway cleared -- Booker volunteered to shovel the snow. Booker told Government Technology that social media sites like Twitter are changing politics. “It changes conversations from private to social,” he said. “If you don’t build up the tool, you really surrender to the space or come off as very robotic. It’s about creating authentic, dynamic feeds.”
