(Jan. 7) -- Think you can define the meaning of democracy in 140 characters or less? If so, The U.S. State Department may want to give you a new camcorder.

As part of a global effort to promote an international dialogue about the value of democracy through new forms of technology, the department is opening a two-week contest at 5:30 p.m. ET today. Those with Twitter accounts are encouraged to type a brief, personal definition of what best defines democracy and identify the post using the category #democracyis.
