Sarah Palin Wouldn’t Do Well With Twitter

Thursday, October 2, 2008

Tonight, vice presidential hopefuls Joe Biden and Sarah Palin squared off at Washington University in St. Louis. Five hours away, Matthew and I squared off against Miller High Life while watching the debates at Zach’s house. Matthew live tweeted the entire assault on the English language over on our twitter.
He’s really grumpy about the debates. […]

Radio Sweethearts is no Fail Whale: The NPR Twitter Accounts List Part I

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Last week, I promised our awesome friend Scott that we would round up all of the NPR people who actively use Twitter and post links here. This is how it works: I’m going to start a list of NPR twitter-ers (tweeters? twits?) that will be updated every so often with links to relevant Twitter accounts. […]

NPR Does Denver

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

Just in case you haven’t already gotten enough of the Democratic National Convention, I wanted to point you in the direction of some of NPR’s coverage.
The NPR Politics Twitter feed has been providing obsessive, immediate coverage that includes quotes from almost every speech. Earlier today, they were tweeting the roll call of the states. But […]

Merlin Mann: productivity guru, insightful little bastard.

Thursday, July 31, 2008

A friend brought this to our attention:

Unlike 34,368 other Twitter users, we don’t follow @hotdogsladies; he seems far less inclined to shake the haters off than the fans, but once in a while, he’ll go on an insight spree.
This is pretty awesome, but we’re still not following.
Besides, it’s inaccurate. Robert Siegel doesn’t host All Things […]

Twitter love for Radio Lab

Thursday, June 5, 2008

Over on my personal Twitter stream, I’ve set up Twitterfeed to run the RSS feed from my Last.fm profile. It finally started working today, as I was listening to podcasts.
From Beckyrother’s reply on up, all these tweets owe their existence to this last episode of “Radio Lab” that came through the feed. There’s a lot […]

Don’t tweet promises to NPR employees.

Wednesday, March 12, 2008

So, over on my personal Twitter, I said something stupid. And “The Bryant Park Project,” the NPR program it was directed to, responded. I promised them a photo of where Jeff Buckley died, as a response to a recent story they did.
In somewhat small glory, here’s the picture:

Right. Yes. Of Course.

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

Today, from the NPR News Blog Twitter feed:
“All vents welcome but I would only caution about some using some language - we’re still an NPR-affliated entity. Mainly the F-bomb. Folks upstairs might not let us keep doing if we get too outside the rules we have on the blog” 
I totally understand where they’re coming from. […]
