Carrie Rengers is one of the best bloggers in Wichita

November 4th, 2009

Here is just one example of her keen wit and judgement.

Squeeeing her way to fame

June 19th, 2009

Shannon Twitters.  So does Justin Timberlake.  Shannon has a thing for Justin Timberlake.  Justin discovers Shannon’s thing for him.  Squeeeing becomes a part of the Twitter lexicon.
Check out Shannon’s other blog Remarkably Clever. It has ideas you can use in tech, travel and daily life.

Speaking of Twitter

To Tweet, or not to tweet?

June 18th, 2009

Bill Wilson yawns, points to a Harvard study, and asks, “What’s the big deal?”
Cherp, with clear eyes and full heart, explains why Twitter isn’t a fad.
David Kamerer, without taking sides, points to the value of Twitter (as well as other social media) in Iran.

The art of disagreement

June 3rd, 2009

Remember that Twitter tiff (Twiff?) between A California Girl in Kansas and Todd blog a couple of weeks ago?  Zach gave it the Languagisticology touch.
I see silk wall hangings, t-shirts and screen savers as the next logical step.

Wichita State University has sent a group of folks to Greensburg to tell the stories that haven’t been told yet. Here is the web page where all their work is collected. They have nineteen blogs and are posting video, audio and print stories. They are also on Twitter using #grrebirth.

Thoughts on this Twitter thing

May 19th, 2009

As Twitter moves from “cool” to “popular” (which means no one “cool” will like it any more) What reaction should there be from the early adopters? Cherp has some thoughts.

This was not a fight (now updated and corrected)

May 14th, 2009

This was a disagreement, with a bit of name-calling. It was really a Twitter thing between A California Girl in Kansas and Toddblog but it also played out in the blogosphere.
Acgik went first.
Then Toddblog responded (and he shows the Twitter posts to get you non-tweeters up to speed)
Transparency interlude: (switch off first person plural) I [...]

Nanoblogging

April 8th, 2009

It makes Twitter seem so 2008. A spoonful of tounge to place in your cheek.

Some sanity on social media

April 4th, 2009

It is either proclaimed as the end of civilization or the answer to all humankind’s ills. Denice just enjoys it for what it is.
Douglas and Main agrees with Ms. Bruce wholeheartedly on this matter and you can follow the XO and janitorial facilitator of Douglas and Main on Twitter at @bobbyrozzell.

We knew him when

March 25th, 2009

Long before he was @toddblog he was Todd Ramsey, blogger. Now he is Todd, social media educator.

If no one follows any one

March 24th, 2009

Then Twitter becomes unworkable.
The Tweeps who build giant followings without following anyone are either people we want to gawk at (see Cherp’s man-crush confession) or they produce interesting content (CNN doesn’t follow alot of people either.) They are a different breed of bird than the rest of us and add spice to the Twitterverse.

The singularity draws ever closer

March 20th, 2009

Tweetdeck will now connect to Facebook as well as Twitter.

Behold, all ye who doubt

#ITET

March 5th, 2009

It’s Twitterhand for “In These Economic Times.” Finding a  nice looking bargain, ITET, is more important to Steph than reading about things she will never buy.

A link to the action here.

The unending battle

February 25th, 2009

Were or was? Grammar aid for those of us who are unsure.
Helpful hint: Trying to correct grammar in Twitter world is the very definition of Sisyphean.

Please take my money

February 19th, 2009

Twitter could make David’s day if it would just charge a little fee for their service. It’s not about coin, it’s about value.

A Twitter map during the Super Bowl

February 4th, 2009

This is a nifty little graphic doodad that Morgan found at the New York Times website. Slide the marker at the top of the page to get an idea of how the conversation changed during the course of the game.
When you check the tweets after the second half safety it’s obvious they filtered out obscenities.

Following the Night Trader

January 16th, 2009

When Douglas and Main hears of the word “stock” we immediately follow with the word, “cars.” Smarter people think of the word, “market.” The Night Trader is a local smart person. Follow his adventures in the stock market at his blog, and on his Twitter feed.
When we hear the phrase, “stock market” we immediately think [...]

Eye witness account

December 16th, 2008

Twitter users call their gatherings, Tweetups. What’s it like when they get together for a Christmas Tweetup? A report from the action.

In case you missed it

December 8th, 2008

Epic is an over used adjective. Epic fail, Epic film, Epic Center. Usually it modifies something that isn’t big, let alone epic but Steph puts the word to its proper use.
Correction: Steph’s post is linked to the original author who used the word epic correctly, Carly Jo at Live.Laugh.Love. Douglas and Main regrets the error. [...]
