saving for future reference ... recall one of my journalism professors always liked to use this example as of one of the best feature stories ever. - Adam Ostrow
"of course it's becoming harder to find good .com domains, but, how many truly successful sites can you name that don't end in .com? Del.icio.us and .... ?" - Adam Ostrow
"Good post Mathew ... though I don't agree with you that it was a mistake to post the Twitter message. I caught similar flack for posting - in question form - about the rumor of death of Subway Jared (which, was ultimately not true of course). Your tweet wasn't an article in The Globe and Mail - it wasn't even a post on your personal blog.
Twitter's essentially a chat room - why not re-post rumor and let the listeners either confirm/reject/or point you in another direction - which may eventually lead to discovery of the real story (or non-story as the case may be). To hold it to the same standards as traditional journalism is silly and would make Twitter a much more boring and less useful place." - Adam Ostrow
There's an eat and a me. You do the math. - Derek Coward
I said this while at a blackjack table a few months back and the whole table cracked up. lot of good it did me though. i still lost. blah. - .·*♥pea♥*·.
you know, i said this exact thing in 5th grade and that got me a note home and an afternoon with the school psychiatrist. - Faboo Mama
"As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about. " - Joey Gibson
This was in a movie once I just can't remember which one. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
"Q: What is your foreign policy experience?
A: Alaska Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they are right there, they are right next to our state. He's got the track record of the leadership qualities and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the trade sector today we've got to flow into our domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I didn't blink then even, when asked to run as his running mate. We got to be in, if we were to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is needed to help us, diplomatic pressure." - Louis Gray

Q: If a train leaves Los Angeles at 6pm traveling 60mph and a train leaves from New York at 9pm traveling 70 mph... What the hell is up with that 'I Can See Russia' thing??? - John Worthington
this chick is such a ditz it's freakin' scary! ... bad movie...yep! - Susan Beebe
I want to like her, I really do. Maybe that's why she won Miss Congeniality. I just don't know if I can vote for her on policy issues. - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart
I'm sorry, I have to post this even though I got torched by a former colleague for being insensitive right after the nomination (way before all these crazy interviews)... every time I watch or read interviews with Palin I think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.... - Jon Price
I have a cat that is better qualified for public office than Palin. - xero
Jon, why, oh why... Couldn't SC have elected to send better representation than her for Miss Teen USA contest? - quick, someone get out the light bulb and hold it next to her head... nope no juice, boys. - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart
Of course, I'm wondering if the ad is making money ... Whew ... one track - Charlie Anzman
Keeping Palin as his running mate proves McCain doesn't think he'll actually win. His mannerisms on the debates seconds that. - xero
anyone watch AC360 tonight? You actually CAN see Russia from Alaska ... from an island with 160 ppl on it that no Alaska governor has ever visited. lol. - Adam Ostrow
Dear Jesus, for a minute I thought that was real. - Ayşe E.
Ayşe E., I hear ya, I've been hoping that all of this has been some bizarre last episode of Newhart life-imitating-art moment and that I'll wake up from the dream. - Casey
"Great analysis Josh ... not sure who told you "techcrunch for the floyover states" but that's not far off ... someone else once wrote "the intouch weekly of social networking news" :-)
I don't know if I'd go so far as to call us a "crowdsourced" model though - the majority of our content is contributed by regular staff - though we just did add 2 new regular writers - Doriano Carta and Leslie Poston - which may make it look like we're pulling more content from the crowd." - Adam Ostrow
Closing statement on C-SPAN was that they would reconvene at 9a - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)
I think I got my info from CNN ... in any event, 9am still isn't very ambitious if you ask me. I start work around 9am and all I have to do is blog, not solve the biggest economic crisis in the last 75 years :-) - Adam Ostrow
I'd keep in mind that there are still (some) people who don't use RSS and visit the actual website. Hence, if an embargo is broken and you think the story is worthwhile for your readers, it's still worth publishing and imo if you're not swamped with other work. - Adam Ostrow
Yeah well, we're in the media cycle of the information. Can't wait for the New Industrial age, where can gripe about user-generated fabrication industry (remember when we used to get all up in arms about advertising campaigns? lol) - Eric Rice
well, part of it is indeed that the story gave tech bloggers and opportunity to blog about "Sarah Palin" - undoubtedly the hottest search term of the past month. The importance of the story hardly justified the volume of content imo. - Adam Ostrow
You guys all have my cell phone number. I'd be lying if I said my schedule was booking up in full already. I think I'll be on two different panels, and more details will be coming soon. But yes, abuse the #, please. 408 646 2759 - Louis Gray
woohoo, I knew you'd cave :-) See ya there - Adam Ostrow
I'll be in Vegas, too, that weekend...for a wedding, though. - Oliver Ortega Chua
Yay! We finally get to meet in person! Where's the LouisGray.com party? - Jesse Stay
Work has given the okay, and the twins are covered. My two sisters will come help my wife and split the days I'm out. It's great to have family! As we get closer to the dates, I'll post details on the panel(s), and timing, so I can make the most use of my time in Vegas. Looking forward to seeing many of you there. - Louis Gray
Louis let's do a FF meetup - i'm getting in on the 18th at 5:30 and am there until Sunday afternoon. hope we can grab a drink w/some FF folks! - Morgan
