Social Media Saturday: N.H. Primary Debate and a Page of the Week

Social Media is important here at Patch. Every day, we use Twitter and Facebook to share stories and important facts about life in Arlington. 

But the most important part is interacting with the Arlington community, from news tips to comments to just about anything else.

Every week, Social Media Saturday brings some highlights of Patch’s social media life, a couple tips and suggested pages for you to follow. So be sure to come back every Saturday at 10 a.m. for more.

Overheard Social Media: Primary in New Hampshire

This week marked . We asked readers who they would vote for and received a few responses:

Scott Graziano wrote: "Mitt Romney taking the tolls nice."

Ed White added, "It shows one does not need the social conservative's backing or blessing to win. Hopefully this will help kill the notion that Palin & Co. actually wield power. Moderates determine the winners and even in the General Election the candidate perceived (and that is a key word) as most moderate will win. Fringes (be they Gore, Kerry, or a ticket with Palin) will always lose as they immediately alienate 70% of the country."
