@nathanTbaker Thanks for starting it, although more could be discussed ;)
This "#" news tweets" bar in Twitter has made me more glued. I click it like a lab rat.
@dancedivam cool! You can thank @nathantbaker for his thoughtful post on the subject.
@morganlevy I'm sure the stylish baristas can do it, but it doesn't sell coffee.
@morganlevy We deliver news and information. Adding building websites to that would be like Starbucks doing hair.
@morganlevy yep. They generally call that bankrupcty, but there is a much better way.
I think you can generally tell who was raised by a television and who wasn't.
@morganlevy "Welcome to Starbucks, can I cut your hair in hopes you will be here long enough to want some pumpkin bread with your coffee?"
@julieahollis I'm in a beta test group. The retweet button for me is beside "reply" on each tweet.
I'm waiting for the first tweet on which to use the fancy new Twitter "retweet" button (beta)
I just used my retweet button on Twitter for a @nashvillest tweet, but don't see it.
@morganlevy Yes, the times we did that was strictly out of necessity. It's too much trouble and maintenance. We do host pages for clients.
@morganlevy Correct. Few TV, radio and print sites are done locally, though. most are corporate (like ours). If I could go local, we'd rock.
@nathanTbaker Yes, and what would that strategy be? That's the part that's missing. For us, it's always a short term gain.
@julieahollis so far it seems cool. I saw someone's "retweet" and it automatically shwos who retweeted under the tweet and other options.
@morganlevy most corporate media websites were built in another country and have people like me under them pulling out our hair.
@morganlevy If we could go completely local with our design and hosting budget, I think you'd see we do get it.
@morganlevy exactly. They know "I" get it, but until "we" get it, "they" need to go get it somewhere else.
@nathanTbaker because we provide news and information. The more crap we add to that model the more we repeat mistakes of legacy media.
@nathanTbaker We aren't innovating our own space, which should take all the resources we get, much less becoming a webmaster for a plumber.
@nathanTbaker The thing is those peopel ought to be working at innovating that news org's website before doing it for plumbers or lawyers.
@RadioMatthew ah, ok. cool. Was there a symbol in the tweet for "retweet" or did it say "RT"?
@nathanTbaker We've done it, but it's not a direction I want to go.
