A six-pack counts as one thing, right? My paycheck, my family, my organs, ... why do i feel like i'm filling out an eHarmony profile?
A way to track who has unfollowed you, and when. In addition to helping see where we lost them, it helps us plan our retaliation.
My dog. Then I could tweet him to let himself out when I have to work late.
@BarackObama, because he has the WORST. TWEETS. EVER. and needs to learn how to use this thing.
Been tempted, but never unfollowed thru (get it? UNfollowed thru??) with it. Would rather just filter them out with lists.
I've connected with lots of folks who had stopped paying attention to the AJC, but now they've realized it's still useful to them.
We tweet traditional news stories in an non-traditional way, making them sometimes funny, sometimes off-beat, but always personable.
Interesting news that I think others would like to know about. That and the chance to meet Alyssa Milano thru this contest.
Understand Twitter before you dive in. You may THINK you'll get followers to get onboard w/ your program, but opposite is more likely.
2 weeks but that's all the vacation time i get. otherwise, i try to space them 30m apart.
It will morph into carrying more info w/o losing its brevity. Pop-out screens for video, side tweets, etc. off 1-2 character hot links.
@AJCbuzz because she's almost as strange as we are.
That serious-minded people can't stay informed 140 characters at a time.
Because we offer news that's relevant to their lives, but in an entertaining way. Sorta like wrapping your dog's meds in a slice of cheese.
Must be relevant to people's lives: will news impact them directly/immediately? Bar is higher for govt. meetings/court rulings/etc.
I was ordered to by my sadistic boss. Argued with him for 140 minutes about it. How ironic is that?
Yes. It's allowed me to kill way more time at work.
We're in the news biz, and in competitive breaking news situations we tweeted facts that turned out to be... well, unfactual.
Much like it is today, with the exception of the giant, mutated ferrets that will be wrecking havoc across southern Greenland.
