While we’re here in Tampa, we’ve been talking to journalists, candidates, political pundits and others about the way Twitter has influenced the election and their work.

The New Republic recently described Buzzfeed’s election coverage as “central to the political conversation on Twitter.”
Here’s more from Ben on integrating Twitter into BuzzFeed reporting:
