Good night everyone. @lwcomm, I missed AI. Need to go watch the tape. #journ2journ #
@JDEbberly I’d like to thank you for the welcoming you give. It makes the chats more civilized. #journ2journ in reply to JDEbberly #
@danieldoyle I missed that command! Thanks. #journ2journ in reply to danieldoyle #
@karenhanson Thanks again. This was such a good idea. #journ2journ in reply to karenhanson #
@danieldoyle Wait. What? Financiers? And what do you use to make the RSS feed from a Twitter search? #journ2journ in reply to danieldoyle #
@journalistics I search through Twitter, but follow for awhile first. #journ2journ in reply to journalistics #
@anndouglas Thanks for pointing that Tweet out. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
RT @heymarci Fascinated by “The Life and Times of a Twitter Link.” http://tr.im/h38c #journ2journ #
@LifeofMichael Sorry, I couldn’t resist. — Checked @cjessee2 Twitter page and made a guess. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@cjessee2 Your employer needs to realize is it cost effective to properly outfit staff. #journ2journ in reply to cjessee2 #
I use a couple of push only accounts to tweet breaking news, articles I’ve posted, etc. I think I’d overload those who follow #journ2journ #
@cjessee2 I use an iTouch and a phone with unlimited texting. I’m near WiFi almost 24/7 #journ2journ #
rt @justinNXT The buddy system works well historically. Plus any good journalist needs someone to balance their neurosis. #journ2journ #
I primarily use it to connect with others in the field. It gets quiet in my little office. #journ2journ #
@LifeofMichael Are they really freelance when they’re people the paper let go? (Not talking about my community BTW.) #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@palafo My 1st job I carried my own camera. Staff photog would always say: you can shoot more. You don’t pay for printing. #journ2journ in reply to palafo #
@LifeofMichael I’ve heard @LWCOMM pitch. She always has me at “I’ll do it myself for free.” #journ2journ #
@LifeofMichael Can you move your station to Central Florida? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LWCOMM Do they pay a living wage? #journ2journ in reply to LWCOMM #
@catekustanczy Sorry, my bad edit. I meant two person teams. Writer & video or witer & programmer #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@justinNXT What about advertising approach & put together teams? writer/videographer or writer/programmer? #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@justinNXT I worry that good writers will be lost when we require them to do video, programming, etc. #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@justinNXT I think we’re best when see ourselves as free agents, ready to work where needed and not invested in 1 company. #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@karenhanson I am fond of flexibility. It has kept me worry free about survival for #$#%^& years. #journ2journ in reply to karenhanson #
@catekustanczy PHP, CSS #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@journ2journ I’m giving it all away. I’m in the South. I now rely on the kindness of strangers. #journ2journ in reply to journ2journ #
@BenLaMothe I’m betting all I have that you’re correct. #journ2journ in reply to BenLaMothe #
@anndouglas Seriously, @catekustanczy had a point. Journos do best when they listen to sales about community trends. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@anndouglas I’m now bald. I learned not to work 90 hour weeks. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@justinNXT Repackaging might be the best approach, but I hear from so many readers that they simply have too much info 2 digest #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
I left news to work advertising before I left the field. Only to return to news recently. #journ2journ #
@anndouglas Oddly enough, I handed off the crime maps to make housing listing maps. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@justinNXT The people have a blogging platform or 3. Do we need 1 designed by The NYT that starts by competing with Patch? #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@LifeofMichael True, but a national network of hyperlocals reels my mind. I don’t want Toyata national ads in my hyperlocal. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@danieldoyle communitywalk.com was my tool. I needed a free service. #journ2journ in reply to danieldoyle #
@justinNXT I doubt hyperlocal will ever give fruit. Except for the odd lone wolf. Selling national ads is against the idea. #journ2journ in reply to justinNXT #
@anndouglas Now that is information readers want. I did interactive crime maps for over a year. That worked well. #journ2journ in reply to anndouglas #
@LifeofMichael Are you saying all news is best locally produced? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@JDEbberly I have now. I have some reading to do. Thanks. #journ2journ in reply to JDEbberly #
@catekustanczy Is it time to say media is like philosophy like the arts? ie supported by the people and only tangibly business? #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@JDEbberly I’d like to hear more about your “interactive learning environments.” idea. #journ2journ in reply to JDEbberly #
@catekustanczy Canada is socialist heaven. But what about towns without metros and decent bus systems? Like most of the USA? #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael But will they pay them? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael But I’m is a smaller town. What’s in like in the big city? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael I think advertisers have already decided to abandon newspapers. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael All those are together online. Let analysis rule in the magazine. (Plus show reviews and such.) #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@catekustanczy I haven’t first heard of a story in print in years. Someone else always gets it to me first. #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael Immediate news is online only. We break news/readership where needed into best use groups. #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael She’s watching AI. Is going away from hard news an answer to redeveloping readership? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@LifeofMichael re: mags 1) printed on Fri for weekend crowd. 2) longer shelf life 3) more analysis of local stories #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
@karenhanson I’ve preached the magazine approach for so long I’m horse. They’re just not listening locally. Up North? #journ2journ in reply to karenhanson #
@catekustanczy Should we let the journos who refuse to change mediums drift away on the ice floe? #journ2journ in reply to catekustanczy #
@LifeofMichael What about your newsroom? Is readership moving online well enough to support the paper? #journ2journ in reply to LifeofMichael #
Our local NYT regional paper does a decent job online, but readers still aren’t biting. Do we have time for news? #journ2journ #
It’s 7:58 pm est, do you know where your journalists are….? #journ2journ #
Tonight! 8pm est | Journalists chatting about story ideas & development, reporting tips, writing strategies, etc. #journ #journ2journ #

@Sascha_Zuger I get that when my wife walks by as I write: “Oh, you’re not going to say that are you?” I couldn’t watch if I was Fallon. in reply to Sascha_Zuger #
@Sascha_Zuger @jimmyfallon is on? Oh, this doesn’t bode well. Unless he adds a #skittles page. in reply to Sascha_Zuger #
@murphysblues Twittering while waiting for U2. Well, and working on a website for a client. Multi, wait, how did I screw up that code? brb #
@bwgassman They were effective when they were called the community weekly. in reply to bwgassman #
So, @BIF , what’s up with “The Local?” http://snipr.com/cytxj NYTimes not realize that was April Fools 2008? http://snipr.com/cyuvl #
@BIF Not her imagination. FF has never played nice with memory. Have you tried Chrome? Easier to peal away and close pages. in reply to BIF #
@JGandB FF minimized memory hog? There’s a tweak. http://snipr.com/cyrwp | Recommend Chrome #
Daughter is home. Cookies made. Going to play. See ya later. #

@DavySunshine: Noise? I missed it as I was singing only the dulcet tones of the truth. #lkld #
Ok, I’ll follow the crowd: #skittles, skittles, skittles, skittles, skittles, skittles, skittles, skittles and http://chuckwelch.com #
Oddly enough, I’ve been sending direct messages instead of replies this morning. Apologies if I set off your phone before you fully woke. #
@DavySunshine The terms are Twitterskid if it is done only at the end, & Chrctrhrdng if they do it for the whole tweet. #unnecessaryhashtag in reply to DavySunshine #
@DavySunshine It’s not the sound, it’s the deal. It’s never been about the noise, that was just a method to deflect the real issues. in reply to DavySunshine #
@Suzannadanna We probably won’t make it this year. Tom did. I’m getting ready to upload the photos. #lkld in reply to Suzannadanna #
#lkld rainy wet. Perfect day to wash the floors. | However, I’m wondering….What 140 characters do you think when you hear “blog?” #
@Neilochka Tempted? Last I heard a cappella they sang “Bicycle Built for Two.” Is 80s pop a common a cappella group staple? Who’s the best? in reply to Neilochka #
New blog post: Tempted – Brown, Dartmouth, and University of Michigan http://tinyurl.com/b49w46 #
Seems to be a lot of music fans on Twitter tonight. For those who are Star Trek & barber shop quartet fans: http://snipr.com/cupvc #
Paul Harvey has passed away. http://snipr.com/cujie And now, page three… #
@tokyobelle I missed it. I’ll find it online when I get home. Thanks! in reply to tokyobelle #
It looks like the NYT thinks we hyperlocal folks had a good idea. Local real estate maps? Maybe crime maps too? http://snipr.com/ctiko #
@murphysblues Some tunes are showing up in some last.fm user listings. Reports in other places. I’ve not looked for files myself. in reply to murphysblues #
RT @davysunshine No matter how much you give, you can never end up in the hole. Boundless generosity is always profitable. (RR) #RandyKnew #
