Boy, have we got something new for you. See how excited even the former first lady is about it?
This is a two-part item:
1) You can now get The Ticket via Twitter. For existing Twitterers, go to http://twitter.com/latimestot
Click Follow. Enroll there for alerts on every new Ticket item AND our instant, breaking-news election results starting with the next election, which seems like No. 137, doesn’t it? It’s all free, of course.
2) For about-to-be Twitter folks, think of it as text message headlines to any mobile device. Go here to enroll (also free). Click on Join, not surprisingly.
And join.
Once again, on election day Tuesday, like every election day, we’re going to have election result updates all evening for our Twitter subscribers.
You can see here how happy Democratic presidential candidate and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is upon receiving word that she’s been accepted as a Ticket newsletter and Twitter subscriber.
Now, the RSS crowd shouldn’t feel left out. To set up your feed of Ticket blog items, go to this page, scroll down to the box in the middle titled ‘Hottest Campaign News.’ And choose your reader.
And right above it is another box: ‘Campaign 08 Newsletter.’
Click there to receive our nightly e-mail Politics newsletter. It’s full of the newest LATimes.com stories and the freshest Ticket items posted since you fell asleep watching that warehouse in Kansas burn and woke up at 2 to the voice of Lindsay who’s-its praising her favorite mattress. (By the way, if it’s such a great mattress, why is she always awake at that hour?)
Click here to bookmark The Ticket and check us often. This is such an unusual and exciting election season, we’re basically blogging The Ticket around the clock with all kinds of unpredictable items. You never know when we might find something fresh or funny and post it at any hour. (Just look when Don posted his Pennsylvania preview before us this morning!)
You don’t want people to look at you strangely in the street and be thinking, ‘That sure doesn’t look like a Ticket reader.’ You want to be as happy and informed as Hillary. And now it’s even easier.
