Listening to Barry tell us how the Ledger of the World uses Twitter #lkld #
@ellerbestyle are you on lake hollingsworth drive? in reply to ellerbestyle #
@amykchulik The Twitter community could develop conventions, but training new users would be spotty. Bst 2 depend on power users to lead. in reply to amykchulik #
@amykchulik re: #hashtags Seems many are created & are narrowed as they are retweeted. Best #hastaggers are probably indexers & librarians in reply to amykchulik #
rt: @kelso78 TwitPic of #crash of USAir 1549 foating plane http://snipr.com/a4nty – Survivor credits pilot for good landing. #current #
@eunice007 re: training – Survivor mentioned he grabbed seat cushion as flotation device. Some on vid wearing lifevests. in reply to eunice007 #

@ellerbestyle You need to make @hyhatt one of your cool Twitter icons. Speaking of which: exactly what is your icon? in reply to ellerbestyle #
To clear up the confusion, the photo of me in today’s World-Wide Ledger is not the one on the Timeout cover. http://snipr.com/a2ork #

@Jesse Tks for the quick help with #socialtoo — I’m back in. in reply to Jesse #
@sestegall Tks. It’s good to be in the paper – save the crime report, obits, and on the wrong side of Gigs and Garlands. #lkld #polk #ldgr in reply to sestegall #
@Mike_Wesely Socialtoo would be more useful if the password reset worked. Was able to signup, not able to get in since. in reply to Mike_Wesely #
@Suzannadanna @BIF You’re missing the key. Evidently all photos of me must place the focus on my ear. in reply to Suzannadanna #
@BIF You need to fix your horizontal hold to get the whole pic. I hope the #b&b logo makes the print edition. Wanted to show the love. in reply to BIF #

@DixonTam Oh, no. Ricardo Montalbán was “Corinthian leather” and “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” in reply to DixonTam #
@DaydreamWriter If cost is a factor consider freeware OpenOffice to save $ over Office Suite. I switched years ago; easy transition. in reply to DaydreamWriter #

@benshoemate I’m in FL. Those are always “Good” except during the hurricanes.
#journchat in reply to benshoemate #
No pitch. Just a reminder to follow your hyperlocal news site. #journchat #
@DaydreamWriter Write. Write. & Meet as many local people as possible and ask them what is important. #journchat in reply to DaydreamWriter #
hot topics: I’m always looking for news on alpha release tools. What will make my work better 6 months from now. #journchat #
@Harvatin Newspapers need to report how that news will affect us. We need more in depth reports and less breaking news from print #journchat in reply to Harvatin #
Those titles must go back to the community weekly standards of journalism. All news is local. Make that national story a local 1. #journchat #
One thing all PR pros should read? The Elements of Journalism by Kovach and Rosenstiel #journchat #
Not just the AP stylebook. Strunk & White also #journchat #
“Live” blogging. Not “love” sorry.
#journchat #
Live tweeting? In that instance the bloggers are reporters. The journos should be love blogging also. #journchat #
@wiredprworks Tweetbacks is one tool for pulling tweets back to the page. http://tinyurl.com/9e4ank #journchat in reply to wiredprworks #

@aeropolowoman “Redecorating.” Thanks, perfect way to put it. (And I want a strong healthy bailout free 4th estate) in reply to aeropolowoman #
@savvypublicist They will become more practical as communities redesign themselves. Cars are a blip in history. in reply to savvypublicist #
Tangible coverage was the issue when they moved to radio and tv. It was solved then. Will be online also.
#journchat #
@savvypublicist We can replace cars with bikes. And no bailout for the fourth estate. #journchat in reply to savvypublicist #
@Nancydbrown The slow are always left behind in every technology shift. #journchat in reply to Nancydbrown #
@KertingPRmaven I agree. I just remember when the morning and afternoon papers went through the same process 20 years ago. in reply to KertingPRmaven #
@Nancydbrown Old journos can learn new tricks. Trust me. #journchat in reply to Nancydbrown #
“Content sharing” like when the morning and afternoon papers merged operations? See, it’s just old news. #journchat #
journalism is what we do, not where we do it. We shouldn’t try to separate freelance reporters from MSM reporters. #journchat #
Features should drive the weekend MSM print products. Nice, long, well researched and well-written features #journchat #
Software issues are making it difficult to follow the chat tonight #
@karenhanson I believe community newspapers are the thing of the future…again. #journchat in reply to karenhanson #
This freelancer still finds news by old fashioned methods…schmoozing. And Twitter works well that way. #journchat #
@KertingPRmaven Non-MSM news operations are often lumped with Personal blogs, but all reporting is still subjective MSM or not.
#journchat in reply to KertingPRmaven #
@MudslideMama It’s up to the PR person to maintain which freelance news operations are trusted. #journchat in reply to MudslideMama #
@davekerpen MSM hasn’t found enough readers online to use the old advertiser supported model.
#journchat in reply to davekerpen #
@standupkid Time to strike out on their own
#journchat in reply to standupkid #

@erinval Hello. You don’t think Jim Caldwell is going to replace Dungy? in reply to erinval #
@Neilochka It’s time for guest blogger week. in reply to Neilochka #
@etanowitz I’d suggest still using WP. Especially, if she plans making her own updates. Will she sell from the site or direct elsewhere? in reply to etanowitz #
Look for an article on Twitter in the #lkld paper, The Ledger. And don’t forget the Tweetup/Meetup on Thus. 15th http://snipr.com/9oth9 #
Tim Raines only received 22.6% of HOF vote?! McGwire only 21.9% ?! Come on HOF voters. #

@PRsarahevans re: MediaonTwitter: What about new media members that report news? How about…MSM/New Media instead of reporters/bloggers? in reply to PRsarahevans #
@AdamWeeks Well #traffic and #noise were taken. I guess #whfl will do. Still like #lkfl for Lakeland though. Is this an AP/UPI situation? in reply to AdamWeeks #

I didn’t watch the Golden Globes, but @deggans tweets were like sitting next to Vin Scully at a Hall of Fame ceremony. Segue to “Go Ricky!” #
It’s 1:30 am and I’m in the mood for a movie. What to choose? #
