Back in December, Emily Babay added a “Twitter Feed” to the MyTwoCensus homepage. This tool has proved all too valuable in finding out intricate details of Census Bureau problems. If you want to see why/how your tax dollars are wasted, look at the below Tweet for why. Great job payroll system! (FYI the term #lml stands for “love my life.”)
tayterbug The US Census Bureau really doesn’t need to threaten people to get them to fill out the census form. Just disguise it as a Facebook survey!
This comes on the heels of news that Facebook is now the most-visited site in America!
Since MyTwoCensus.com added a Twitter widget to the lower right side of our page in December 2009, it has been very easy to observe Tweets and dialogues from across the US that pertain to the 2010 Census. However, last week, we noticed a suspicious Tweet (see below) and contacted the person who posted it. Thus far, we have not recieved a response, but we must wonder: Are federal, state, regional, or local agencies hiring people (at $29.50 per hour!!!) to complete 2010 Census forms on behalf of prisoners? Is this legal? Will this produce a fair and accurate count? On Friday, we inquired about this Tweet with the Census Bureau. They have not yet responded to our inquiry.

@Schwarzenegger has been Tweeting his brains off for many months. Now, he’s making #Census a priority…
