Election Night 2008 at Twitter HQ

Last night I celebrated the election at Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco. Twitter help up amazing well under tremendous load, especially when the election was called for Obama.

Earlier in the evening I stopped by the Current Diggs the Election party. Here’s when Kevin Rose and Martin Sargent officially called it for Obama on the Current broadcast.

Obama Wins!!

Spotted on the street I was walking back home from the parties.

re: red begbie

We switched around between CNN, current, and MSNBC. We wanted as much information as we could get.
