Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-03-08

aramzs — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:30:00 +0000

Off to @SMCDC Breakfast. A bit of a trip from Fairfax, but I'm looking forward to it. #
Made it! #
Hearing about the WeLoveDC blog. First is a set of local bloggers. #
"Voice x passion = audiance" #
WeLoveDC started out of a need for their own way to connect to community #smcdc #smbdc #
Use of Flickr group to grab photos and allow contributions. #smbdc #smcdc #
WeLoveDC sends out emails to authors when the site has been inactive for too long. #smbdc #smcdc #
WeLoveDC using their own bit.ly through pro and shared Twitter. #smcdc #smbdc #
FreeInDC talking about the art and awesome in DC. #smcdc #smbdc #
http://twitpic.com/1612mz - FreeInDC at #smcdc #smbdc #
On blogging: "no no no, it's really easy" #smcdc #smbdc #
FreeInDC on getting info: Being involved; Facebook events; e-mail tips (give her the basics!); Twitter for leads. #smcdc #smbdc #
Washington City Paper and cultural capital allow you to serach for free. #smcdc #smbdc #
Big tip from both: be involved in what you cover. #smcdc #smbdc #
Now up, a very hyper-local blogger, covers the space of a few blocks. #smcdc #smbdc #
"Be out there and see what's going on ... They come to you because they want to know what's going on, they want to see photos" #smcdc #smbdc #
Hearing from these local bloggers, what sets them apart? They are part of what they cover and this creates passion. #smcdc #smbdc #
They had the skills, one with a J-degree, the other a photojourn. #
"Your sources are very important" #smcdc #smbdc #
"We just walked over and talke to the police. It's simple stuff" #smcdc #smbdc #
Digital Capital week - a 10 day series of events in DC. Digitalcapital.org. #smcdc #smbdc #
First 2000 tickets are free #smcdc #smbdc #
Next #smbdc is April 12 #
Wrong link before, here is the right one digitalcapitalweek.org #smbdc #
Cold subs only today at the JC. Oy. #gmufail #
@NoahWolfe Great talking to you too. in reply to NoahWolfe #
About three hours total for back and forth commute to #smbdc Worth it. Great event, great people, awesome presenters. #
"This will be the most hostile world you have encountered." "Except Wal-Mart on Black Friday" Unskippable- Avatar http://bit.ly/atzgNq #
@sameoldjostie @alaModest I have also registered. I may end up setting up an event for it too. in reply to sameoldjostie #
Glad to meet you today @rachelrule! #
In all the time I've worked at @GMUStudentMedia this is our most awesome headline: "Textbooks Allegedly Sold for Crack." #
As I'm putting the paper online, I see a huge ad for "gBay" which (barely) manages to combine eBay and the Mason Patriots logo. o.0 #
Two songs that will make any remix sound good: Bittersweet Symphony and Clubbed to Death. #

@MacDivaONA I like it, though the background is a little dark to read the black text on, even with the box. I like the purple. in reply to MacDivaONA #
@thesixtyone Time for my weekly gripe . Why are the genre filters so many clicks in? Making them obvious without the quest would be cool. #
Oh and @thesixtyone You know I only gripe because I pretty much stopped listening to anything but your site on my computer. <3 #
@MacDivaONA The latest beta build of Chrome. in reply to MacDivaONA #
@MacDivaONA Yes, it is much easier to read. in reply to MacDivaONA #

@terranenvoy Hey there! #wjchat in reply to terranenvoy #
@hgondo Thanks. in reply to hgondo #
@reneejperron The way I've dealt with it is pursued projects and tried to learn EVERYTHING relevant to my role in the project. #wjchat in reply to reneejperron #
@reneejperron It's how I learned about multi-account Twitter management and much of Wordpress. Same with CSS and HTML way back. #wjchat in reply to reneejperron #
@reneejperron Lol, nothing creates a better learning experience than being desperate for money #wjchat in reply to reneejperron #
@marygazze @david_wylie - Do it on your own. Investigate what matters to you, do interviews, make a blog post. #wjchat in reply to marygazze #
