It's no secret that Hammock founder/CEO Rex Hammock is quick to volunteer as a lab rat when it comes to experimenting with any shiny new digital media.

So it surprised no one around here yesterday when the Nashville Tennessean ran a story about his use of Twitter.com during Tuesday night's New Hampshire election returns. The story was based on his post about the topic that appeared on his shiny new People page -- as well as on his vintage weblog, Rexblog.com, which he started nearly eight years ago.
