Hola Mururata:
la comunidad twittera está concentrada en La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz y Sucre. Al menos, los twitteros que formamos una comunidad o grupo y de los que tenemos conocimiento. Puede que haya alguno que otro aislado. No sabemos de nadie en Tarija, ni en Cobija y el orureño que tenemos radica la mayor parte del tiempo en La Paz aunque tiene actividades en Oruro.
Te invitamos a unirte en http://www.twitter.com
Mi nick es e_liana , una vez que hayas ingresado, puedes escribir en la barra de descripción http://www.twitter.com/e_liana, luego presionar el botón follow y de ahí te presento al resto de la comunidad.
Un saludo,

[...] I’ll be analysing more aspects of the new constitution in the upcoming week, here and elsewhere, but in the meantime if you too are interested in nerdishly following the process and outcome of the referendum (and who could blame you!), and you use Twitter (oh, and speak Spanish), then you can keep up with Bolivian netizens involved..

This collective effort has been possible thanks to a joint and virtual understanding of twitters from several countries on this planet. The Bolivia Action Solidarity Network (www.grupoapoyo.org) is a mirror of http://www.laconstituyente.org in the hopes of informing communities trying to closely follow this important instance of Bolivian history. The work done by our Bolivian twitters has been key in keeping thousands of our users informed. Way to go tuiteros in Bolivia!!!

Eduardo,

Gracias por mencionarnos, fue la primera experiencia. y se demostro que se puede hacer web 2.0 desde un pais del tercer mundo, nos falta cosas como la plataforma de ushaidi.org para que la gente reporte desde celular.
