Former House Speaker and architect of the “Contract with America” Newt Gingrich has joined Mashable as a tech blogger.
You did not misread that.
The new reviewer took to Twitter this evening to ask for some suggestions for his upcoming coverage of the Apple Watch, and he probably should have suspected he’d get some weird responses.
The original request came from Gingrich’s official Twitter account:
Tweet me your #AppleWatch questions and things you'd like me to test out on it over the next few wks. https://t.co/lMFGV8Uc2n

Some of his followers offered helpful and genuine tips:

Others were less enthused.
