DISQUS

odd time signatures: Intersections: Twitter, Track, and CNN

    Good post - the traditional media is trying to catch up, but they just don't get it yet. It's the ability to respond and get an instant response that fuels the discussion. It can't be one way, and it can't get sidetracked by trolls.

    I do see Rick as getting the concept, it's the execution that he's still working on. I really appreciate the fact that he has been willing to engage on AND off the air, that he shares about his kids and his life, which is all part of the discussion, really. Just some tweaks to what he's doing and he will be a leader in the so-called 'mainstream' media. He said something tonight about having a new show at 3pm starting 9/8.

    That will make things difficult for me, since I will need to figure out how to watch Rachel Who Rawks on MSNBC and Rick Who Tweets on CNN and still get the work out and the jobs done. LOL.

    I refuse to consider that possibility.

    Obama. must. be. elected. Simple as that. I will do whatever I have to to see that it happens. Hopefully so will many others.

    The fierce urgency of now is compelling.

    As I was reading this, I couldn't help but think you are changing history or dialogue or something serious with your influence and experience, Karoli. Amazing.

    Thank you, but really it's not me. You do it, I do it, everyone around us does it. It's just that Twitter gives us the opportunity to be heard by the influencers. I'm no more an influencer than you are. We both have voices, but now they are heard. That's really the power of services like Tw*tter.

    Let's have conversation and particularly comments take central stage instead of having them marginally count and put behind mere votes/clicks/duggs and what have you.

    "Seriously, the only reason that 3AM lunatic comment got any traction is because you gave it traction." My thoughts EXACTLY!

    Twitter is dead. I hate the trolls, don’t they know I’m a A-list blogger? I’m moving to Texas. No, wait, I give up blogging altogether. This is my last post. Good-bye blogersphere. I’m back! I can’t live without the attention. Secretly I even miss the trolls. They are still attention and I love that! You know what they say; any publicity is good publicity. Give me! Give me! Give me! That’s it, you’re blocked! How dare you disagree with me. Echo… echoooo, echoooo. I adore my previous echo-chamber. I’m A-List Goddamn it! Twitter FTW!

    LOL. Might be the fastest-paced Twitter love/hate A-list love post I've
    ever seen.
