Today’s leadership debate was really good with a lot of people saying a lot of good and bad things about both Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott.
The best thing was that there were more than 7000 tweets sent during the debate and more than 140 tweets were sent in the first two minutes. It was pretty happening debate.
So, what were tweeples talking about, what was mentioned mostly and who was the winner in twitterland:
So, the winner in the twitterland was Tony Abbott as he was mentioned more than Julia Gillard:
