Nice snag, EKB. Mood enhancer.
“am I seriously suggesting that a PR person MUST become an active Twitter user if they want to have a meaningful career? Even though Twitter is supposedly still a below-the-radar service?
Well, yea, kinda. But for more – and more varied – reasons than you might think.”
This is from PRsquared. There is a full article at their website complete with influential people to follow. This is mostly just for whatthehale because she claims that Twitter just isnt for her because NOBODY she knows uses it.
PRsquared and I have a tumultuous history. And literally… though I am not AS plugged into the PR world as I probably should be… I know zero people who use this/follow it as it is, and not just what the mainstreams write/report about it. We are acting like dinosaurs.

System of Proof (via Thrillist): Phone conversations are rife with nuggets you wish you could record — your buddy swearing he’ll give up smoking, your coworker asserting that Christian Bale is “attractive” — but you ain’t no G-Man. Enable your sneakiness, with System Of Proof.
Designed by a former law enforcement officer, System’s a cell-, land-, and VoIP-compatible conversation-recording system intended to help the everyperson combat scourges such as minority profiling and abusive relationships — but really, it’s all about blackmail. Pick one of 3 monthly plans (1000, 1500, or unlimited minutes), dial up the provided personal toll-free number, 3-way conference an unsuspecting victim (note: probably illegal), then get ready for your girlfriend to drunkenly reveal her darkest secret — that she really does know football, but’d rather feign ignorance than admit she received tutelage at Mark Chmura’s house. Once you hang up, System’ll immediately email you a file containing the recording, which you can download onto your computer or iPod, allowing you to work up a sick “Clandestinely Monitored Phone Call Beach Mix”.
Since not everything important goes down over the phone, System lets you use the same dial-in to turn your cell into a portable mic — use it when you get pulled over, and you’ll have hard evidence that you got a ticket despite desperately telling the officer he was “attractive”.

This is a photo of my ST and I winning the unofficial World Championship Air Guitaring Competition at Parliment Pub in Omaha, NE. Home of older men, short plaid skirts and medical students.
We also competing in gymnastics, fencing, boxing, flapping, cougaring and Pamela Andersoning in these games.
Very interesting! With Twitter, everyone’s a “citizen journalist” though… right? Still think it’s cool that a Tweet beat CNN.com on the LA earthquake a few weeks ago.

Shady’s back. After a bit of a dark tumbling period (vacation + exhaustion + a little bump in the emotional road)… please ready yourself for a dashboard onslaught, now.
You know what, you’re probably not that off.
RADIO EDIT: This exchange took place between JWO (“That’s you…”) and LNR (“…not off”).
It should be noted that I HATE McDonalds… and especially the pancake sandwich known as a McGriddle. While already hungover, and a tick pissed, this sandwich pushed me closer to puking than a hard day’s night on the town.

There’s going to be a lot of this, where you’re headed Hale. T-minus four days…
