Thar, she blows! Twitter, down.
Yes, again. - Robert Scoble
When the EU comes alive it seems, lately, the Twitter begins to have a wee bit of a problem. Latency, this is NOT, it's down. - Dave Martin
@SaraJacksonValo Heard there's been a bunch of thunder snow along with cloud to ground lightning in your neighborhood tonight Tis the season
@SaraJacksonValo Hey, Sara. I do all my Christmas shopping between 12/25 and 12/31 the year before, filling in any blanks on xmas eve ;-)
Didya see Feder today? RT @RobertFeder Did you hear about the U.S. congressman who wore an Arbitron ratings monitor? http://blogs.vocalo.org/feder...
And tonight's beautiful snowfall brings to mind: "Hang all the mistletoe I'm gonna get to know you better, This Christmas..."
@techpr You can look forward to the usual morning/midday local TV news shows building odd looking snowmen and having faux snowball fights
Good one. Time to dust off all them chestnuts including "Don't leave your car" RT @derekgebler @techpr How about this gem: "Hunker down..."
RT @rockmanac @techpr and "all non essential persons should stay home" (which of course, doesn't include those of us in TV) Tnx for your svc
And as we trim the tree How much fun it's gonna be together, This Christmas, Fireside is blazing bright We're caroling through the night....
First major snow storm hysteria continues: So far, the actual conditions are actually not bad. Visibility one-half mile, 7 inches of snow.
Ten show bites: "Things are going to get worse" "Thunder snow" "Stay home" "Slide offs" and the predictable file winter '08 interstate mess.
You are correct! The proper preface being "If you absolutely must go out" RT @techpr You forgot "Give yourself plenty of time..."
How about it TV news directors: This year let's get a bit more creative. Guys in the big house building a snowman in the exercise yard stuff
@rockmanac Broadcast channels tilting into 1st major snow storm hysteria. 1st TV station using grim reaper graphic to report a casualty wins
Crews doing it right getting fresh video from tonight's mess, however, most will find and run file, the usual favs incl shots of snow plows.
@rockmanac Majority of TV mgrs & their sales people never fail to take advice given in their news shows "unless you must go outside, don't."
Ah, yes, the fun has begun. RT @JessLaszewski This just in... we believe a snow plow yanked our 700 ft. cable running to Maria's live shot.
Safe wager: Nancy Grace producers canvassing Tiger's neighbors in search of person(s) emotionally scarred for life by accident/media on site
TV news directors are pushing crews to get the best live shot that includes the worst possible wind and snow, bonus points for truck runoffs
Once the snow stops & the temps turn ugly, expect crews to begin working anew on last year's favorite package - animals frozen to sidewalks.
Tonight is the night when reporters/anchors discover nobody dry cleaned last year's parkas, the new ones are locked in the promo dir office.
Nancy Grace is lovin beating the now stale Tiger story into the ground. She particularly enjoys pounding the line about men "cheating down."
Tomorrow morning, pre-network, locals will be in clever TV game to demonstrate snow depth, expect making snow angels in station parking lot.
Tim, that is spot-on, pitch perfect WI TV RT @Cuprisin However, in this graphic, the grim reaper would wield a shovel, rather than a scythe.
Wisconsin Gov declares state of emergency in all 72 counties. Probably a couple of steps away from a police state but that's the way we roll
@rockmanac Broadsword to Danny Boy, read you five by five, it's coming down sideways, roads greasy, wind is bending small trees to its will.
First winter storm tonight. Snow shower in progress, expecting 10 to 14 inches, wind chills tomorrow 20 to 60 below zero. Ice Station Zebra.
Bravos to @zanger for an exceptional preso earlier today. He delivered the goods on social media as the star of the latest @Conclave webinar
