@ShannonLanier Careful at the intersevtions. Have a good trip. in reply to ShannonLanier #
@ShannonLanier Bad technology and certain technology experts are the enemy. Need any help? in reply to ShannonLanier #
@kevinkelso re: Dockery letter | I was glad to. I wish I had been able to print it as soon as it was released. Took me a bit to get the text in reply to kevinkelso #
@lauradavis That wasn’t me at Best Buy today. Did he have just one big eye and an ear? | @bif A Twins cap? Heaven forbid! Go ChiSox! in reply to lauradavis #
Kudos Ledger for Florida Advertising Support Center Headquarters | Any chance you’ll get Subscription Support Center? #lknd http://ow.ly/b1Z #
@sestegall It’s OK. I’ve said “Have fun!” like that for so long, I knew exactly how you meant it. in reply to sestegall #
OotD at Panera South| Meeting Bart Ross| Testing HootSuite #
I’ve never understood why so many people misspell an easy last name like “Welch.” Do people named “Welsh” get misspelled as often? #
#taxcuts saved the economy. No. Wait. I can’t write these. Follow @baratunde for some wry, cynical, and funny tweets. #
As I get older, my faith in the “common man” is decreasing. It’s time to hand over control to the “uncommon woman.” #
Jillian’s Cafes: Anyone know their PR person? I’d like to ask a quick question…. #
@BIF You know how I like buying them from newsstands, or in today’s environment, at boxes. So much more fun than pulling them off the grass. in reply to BIF #
@mikethemanj1 check this Twitter page for a clue to your “1″ problem. http://snipr.com/bbuzi #
@ShannonLanier The laundry fairy doesn’t travel since the Bad Bleach Brouhaha . You have to drop off the laundry now. in reply to ShannonLanier #
@LydiaBreakfast Missed #editorchat , was there a focus on print media? Working editors? Anything particular topics? in reply to LydiaBreakfast #
Please excuse Chuck for his absence as life kept him away from social media. The Dr. felt it was best not to subject his classmates to his.. #
Baseball season starts today for me. #
I must stop researching questions where I wasn’t specifically addressed. It can lead you down a dark and twisted path. & much time is lost. #
@BrianFeldman Some? How fast? How far? Have a pattern? 1 per city, state, left-handed only? Those who lack vowels in the names? Me? in reply to BrianFeldman #
@BenLaMothe @karenhanson Do we want to try for the 5th or promote for the 12th? #journ2journ #journ in reply to BenLaMothe #
@askheidi Did they claim you had too much of each song? in reply to askheidi #
@MosierData That’s what he claimed. He was on the phone, so I asked he email all his concerns, claims & accusations. in reply to MosierData #
@karenhanson @BenLaMothe – How does 7:30 to 9 est on Thursday through Twitter sound for a start? #journ #journ2journ #
re: caller. I’m trying to figure out what upset him. Claims what he typed was changed. I’m not sure he knows we’re not part of another site. #
Just had a caller threaten to sue about comments he left in Aug on the site, also claimed he had a writer followed by PI #
@BenLaMothe I don’t have a preference. ChatMaker was an option if there was a call for off Twitter chat. I doubt it will be too busy at 1st in reply to BenLaMothe #
@mlaine It could be still being used after a much earlier build or for skydiving. We still have horse paths. #
@karenhanson Is Thu 7:30 to 9 a good time? Concerned Tue is too close to #journchat or we could try Sun | #journ2jour #journ #
@nmptpa that’s because you’re using it for that purpose. in reply to nmptpa #
Productive at the OotD. Heading to run errands. #
@bordy What’s your address again? We’ll test what you heard. #
@karenhanson @BenLaMothe I’d say Wed night to not overload those who want both chats. options: 7:30-9est or earlier? #journ2journ #journ #
@AmHealthBeauty I think journ2pr chat is useful, but as you said each group has different needs. We’d also benefit from separate chats. in reply to AmHealthBeauty #
@karenhanson What if we announce it on Twitter, but run it on something like ChatMaker.net ? As you said, Twitter is poor for hearding cats. in reply to karenhanson #
@chuckwelch @BenLaMothe What if we announce it on Twitter, but run it on something like ChatMaker.net ? #
@karenhanson @BenLaMothe Maybe split the workload with 3-4 mods? Each one taking a week a month. Options: 3 chats a month, slightly earlier in reply to karenhanson #
@karenhanson What about a journ2journ chat? Some options: 90 mins max, announced focused topic(s) each week, with free chat avail after. in reply to karenhanson #
@sestegall Based on aural observation they may still be awake from yesterday. The lack of a food purchase kills an earlier muchies theory. in reply to sestegall #
There are times when college freshmen seem more immature than high school freshman. Panera South, 8am is one of those times. #lkld #
RT @muvestar Are you REALLY going to eat a free breakfast & not tip?!?! I almost stood on our table & preached!! I didn’t but I was close #
intersevtion: That moment in time & space when giddy anticipation overtakes driver attention. | This msg brought to you by Fl Safe Roads. #
Taking a break. Ootd tomorrow…Panera South 7:45 #lkld #
Or… “If the prices drop, it’s on top.” #
RT @EvilPRGuy “If it bleeds, it leads” Old rule of journalism, so the recession will always be on the top of the fold. #
@DavySunshine I don’t suppose you have a letter from Archimedes. I just need his rookie card for my collection. in reply to DavySunshine #
Have to leave early. Take care all, see you next week. (Hidden pitch: Think of hyperlocal sites when pitching.) #journchat #
@DavySunshine Issues? Do you have numbers? I’m missing 1, 2, and 28-32 in reply to DavySunshine #
@DavySunshine @shannonlanier How do you do that? in reply to DavySunshine #
@DavySunshine Good memory. in reply to DavySunshine #
re: 6. See the answer to #5. Entrepreneurs should visit and start a dialog at the sites where they want to get coverage. #journchat #
re: 5: Smaller town here. One overlooked tool PR can use is to comment on a story. As Jon Lovitz used to say: “Get to know me.” #journchat #
RE; #4: Concentrate on your community. You’ll cover it better than anyone else can. That’s the news they can’t get anywhere else. #journchat #
Re. #3: I’m out of the for-profit world. Running hyperlocal is primarily a time expense. My budget is what I afford this month. #journchat #
@michaelmonday Much of the audience has forgotten that. They’re waiting for the sound bites and pretty pictures. #journchat #
@michaelmonday it is time to teach a new generation the compelling stories are also in print. We let them slip away to tv/interne #journchat #
rt @paigeholden Make it quick. What’s the news, what can your expert offer, and then be done. #journchat #
@mikeini Try Tweetchat.com . Includes a pause button. #journchat #
@gonzogrrl Most of the cutting edge hyperlocal work is performed with inexpensive equipment. You need more time than money. in reply to gonzogrrl #
Every Journalist needs the skill to quickly learn new technology. It changes too fast to worry about focusing on specific devices #journchat #
If you can see this…I’m about to enter a twitter chat. You’ll see more updates than normal. You can filter out #journchat. #
Intro: Chuck, hyperlocal, local hyper writer #journchat #
@jeromeferson One way: Twitter is broadcast & easy contacts and Facebook is narrowcast. If you’d like, Ping.fm can update both at once #
RT @JimMacMillan Smithsonian Institution wants Aretha Franklin’s Inauguration Day hat, and who can blame them? http://is.gd/i8lW #
@bordy I’m sure you’d hate to hear this in front @ellerbestyle , but I agree re: limp & linkin.| @ellerbestyle closer to Yoakum or Streets? in reply to bordy #
@ScotMcKay twitire or tweetire, twitburst, tweetrum, twitfury ? in reply to ScotMcKay #
@ellerbestyle Punching koala bears? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more., Squire. in reply to ellerbestyle #
@bordy We must be reading different sites. I’m seeing no controversy in my light reading today. More “ho hum” than uproar. in reply to bordy #
RT @connectingwomen Always question the media. Always. Always. Always. See what the “other” is saying on the same topic/issue/cause. #
@etanowitz re: @joelcomm At his level of popularity, why even bother with another’s Social Media site? It’d be easier to run his own site. #
@bordy “several young conservatives who censor themselves” Seriously? Not in Lakeland. Political self-censorship is a crime. in reply to bordy #
I’m heading out to buy a newspaper. http://www.buyanewspaperday.com/ #
@Suzannadanna I’m not a huge fan, but for free? Maybe. Then again, it might be packed. in reply to Suzannadanna #
I’m betting Jeff Patterson’s cameraman on Channel 8 was male. Jeez. They didn’t even try not to focus on one girl’s breasts. #
@ellerbestyle “Hit the Koala” lol You kids and your crazy euphemisms. in reply to ellerbestyle #
@tokyobelle Humor is so personal. Marx Bros Funny. 3Stooges Not . Geo. Bush locked in Gitmo. Funny! Messing with @ellerbestyle . Laughriot. in reply to tokyobelle #
@tokyobelle I’m not an animal lover. It was a poor comedic choice. Punch a lion. That would have been funny. Drog kick a puma. Laughriot. in reply to tokyobelle #
Loved seeing the security guy yelling at the photographers who were shooting the gatorade bath. #
Bob Parsons likes boobs. We get it. Time for GoDaddy to try something more creative. #superbowlads #superads09 #whatever #
OK, I saw that. Finally, something interesting other than the commercials and the twitter chatter. Great throw Warner. #
@Neilochka You’ve accidentally tuned to a documentary on French fashions of the middle ages. Hit “channel up.” in reply to Neilochka #
@DavySunshine You know all the in spots in Polk County #polk in reply to DavySunshine #
@motorbikematt NBC should fire who did the inhouse ad for the Thu shows. Replace them with who did the Mon night & Heroes ads in reply to motorbikematt #
Did I just hear a wilhelm scream in the #superbowl stereo sound feed? #
@Deggans Re Coke screwing over the Mean Joe commercial…that’s the Deggans I know. in reply to Deggans #
@motorbikematt I hope he or she has a much better job now. in reply to motorbikematt #
@motorbikematt But what kind of wimp responds to that soul wrenching pain by punching small animals? Being serious, it was a sour note. in reply to motorbikematt #
@motorbikematt Come on. I’ve paced like a caged lion behind the bar with my baseball bat looking for a fight. I got the commercial. in reply to motorbikematt #
@lauradavis Your dad must know me. #liberal But also #father . Can’t stand quietly by when they dis my daughter’s “favorite animal.” in reply to lauradavis #
@ellerbestyle Sure, it starts with a fake koala. Then you insult one in a zoo. Pretty soon you’re flying to illegal Australian koala fights. in reply to ellerbestyle #
@Deggans Seriously? Careerbuilders? Springsteen better than Prince? Is this Eric Deggans of the SP Times? Have I followed the wrong deggans? in reply to Deggans #
@ellerbestyle And that’s why we’ll forever be on opposite sides of the line my friend. in reply to ellerbestyle #
I don’t care if the rest of the careerbuilder ad was funny, puching a koala is a #fail in this house. Glad my daughter is asleep. #superbowl #
“Race to Witch Mountain?” Attention film production execs: GET NEW IDEAS! That is all. #
@Deggans NBC couldn’t get Tina Fey to write/act in one 30sec commercial? in reply to Deggans #
Is that Little Steven or Jon Lovitz? Sorry, Bruce, you’re no Tom or Prince. But then again, neither am I. I’m not even a Bruce. #superbowl #
@LilPecan Classic use of the hashtag. Thank you. in reply to LilPecan #
@DavySunshine Maybe so, but any friend of Warren Zevon gets my respect. Yes, even Billy Bob Thornton. & I liked “Philadelphia”. in reply to DavySunshine #
Springsteen had a microphone stand malfunction. Alert the FCC. @superbowl #
@Neilochka are you watching? Halftime #
The second Heroes commercial (football) was much better than the 1st. #superbowlads #
@DavySunshine Not a Springsteen fan? in reply to DavySunshine #
@denisbaldwin I think they started downhill when Voyager brought in 36 of DD. It’s time I rewatch best of DS9. in reply to denisbaldwin #
@denisbaldwin Former? Did Berman’s Trek as terrorist fighters also drive you off? in reply to denisbaldwin #
@Jesse #superbowlads No poll for the ad I couldn’t stand? in reply to Jesse #
@motorbikematt Arthur Clarke said we’ll get those space elevators “Probably about 50 years after everybody quits laughing” Waiting on you. in reply to motorbikematt #
Looks like Star Trek chose to go with the odd looking Romulans. Bad choice. Yeah. I’m a Trek nerd. What? We’re not the cool kids anymore? #
Oh man. I liked “Land of the Lost” when I was a kid. WTH? WIll Ferrell? Jesus. #
@AdamWeeks The TV is near my desk. I doubt I’ll watch the actual game. Halftime for sure. in reply to AdamWeeks #
Good rendition by Jennifer Hudson. Remember folks, she finished #7th on Americaon idol season 3. Name the other 6. #
@Neilochka We are all winning. We’re on Twitter. in reply to Neilochka #
@bordy See the shot of the military? They’re forgetting you stand at attention for the National Anthem only. #
There will be “A fresh new start for Heroes” & it’ll be the last chance for this particular viewer. The “Jokers Wild” series did it better. #
@ellerbestyle Yes. I found the 3d glasses at Target. Thanks. in reply to ellerbestyle #
@LilPecan Why would a French speaker think you’re a shower if you don’t like football? in reply to LilPecan #
RT @LilPecan Yippee! Last day of football is finally here! Bring on pitchers and catchers! || I’ll add “amen.” I’m looking forward to Feb 14 #
@ScotMcKay I know nothing about pro football, and to prove it: PIT 48-35 #superbowl #sbtweet in reply to ScotMcKay #
@LaurenDJohnson OK, it has been a long time since I heard “breakfast – dinner – supper” or are you having “last meal of the day” at 13:18? in reply to LaurenDJohnson #
@bordy Careful, pretty soon you’ll advocate national health care. in reply to bordy #
@bordy Doh! I use Thunderbird. No idea why I said Google Cal and left off Thunderbird. Sundays! in reply to bordy #
@donkeyrock Freecycle looks interesting. Any idea who started the Lakeland “chapter?” in reply to donkeyrock #
@denisbaldwin If you don’t require Outlook, I’d suggest OpenOffice and Google Calendar. in reply to denisbaldwin #
@cmcarter @bordy @ellerbestyle Thanks for the help. Knowing me, I’ll take a couple of weeks to investigate/decide. Especially for a luxury. #
@bordy social media, photo work, some website design, expand my knowledge, lessen my Windows reliance, be one of the cool people #
Thinking I need to buy a used Mac. @bordy Which should I look for? & do they have HDMI outputs? #
Knowing who wins the White Sox/Astros World Series game 1 makes it so much less stressful to watch. #mlbn #
@darbysea I made a playlist of the songs chosen by followers. #twittertune in reply to darbysea #
Listening to Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden String Quartet” tks @Martin_Dubow | Do I have your #TwitterTune ? http://snipr.com/acq7f #
@darbysea I’ve not seen Anchorman. Is it worth a repeat? With commercials? in reply to darbysea #
Monday is National Buy a Newspaper Day. Really do them a favor and convince your accounts it is National Buy a Full Page Ad Week. #
Wanted: Copy Editor for hyperlocal site. Pay $0. I’ve forgotten simple rules of grammar writing so many tweet, notes, and comments. #
