The etiquette, etiquette...

"MADISON, Wis. -- On Tuesday night, the nation's attention was focused on President Barack Obama for his primetime 
address,
but some members of Congress were busy using Twitter during the speech.

Twitter is a Web-based tool that allows people to send out updates online on what they're doing or thinking via text 
messages.

During the president's address Tuesday, many members of Congress were doing just that,
which has some questioning the proper etiquette for using the technology.

Most of the messages had to do with the speech, though some strayed from the topic, such as an update from Republican 
Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, who wrote:
"The Aggie basketball game is about to start on ESPN 2, for those of you that aren't going to bother watching Pelosi 
smirk for the next hour.""
