  • 16:58 @SDeneen I disagree with the suggestion that the debt load of corporate ownership has nothing to do with profitability & jobs. #nnbn #
  • 17:44 Where did Twitter-as-Shouting meme originate? Twitter done right is not SHOUTING. Can be 1-to-1, 1-to-many, many-to-many. SHOUTING is rude. #
  • 18:17 wiredpen Bad UI: NYT Subscription: I wanted to check out the New York Times subscription rate for the Su.. tinyurl.com/d8nw79 #

  • 23:10 @alboss I wouldn’t call that a weird idea , altho WebTV didn’t take off for a lot of reasons. w/HDTV screen, not so painful to eyes. #nnbn #
  • 23:15 @thinkmaya Agreed. Maybe Internet technology will lead to the nirvana that people envisioned with the telegraph! We can hope! #nnbn #
  • 23:18 @SDeneen Respectfully, we don’t know what Heart’s issue is. It is privately held, as was pointed out last night, and diversified. #nnbn #
  • 23:19 @SDeneen It is not "blame" to point out that corps have had monopoly rents for a long time – what did they do with that money? #nnbn #
  • 23:20 @thinkmaya Oh. Yes! Engagement, different learning styles, different expectations in higher ed –without a system to help professors prepare #
  • 23:22 @neylano That’s interesting! Caps is shouting to me, even here. That said, this isn’t a "shouting" kinda place, IMO. Shout at me and I leave #
  • 23:23 @SDeneen Continuing- if the PI closes its doors, I’m afraid no one. As I said last nite, don’t think Seattle can support 2 newspapers. #nnbn #

  • 00:13 Watch this now! RT @jdlasica @daveferrick Most retweeted TED talk ever: Benjamin Zander is.gd/G6F #
  • 00:16 @leelefever congrats, Lee! #
  • 00:18 @ponzarelli Hope you like it! I thought it was wonderful. #
  • 00:20 @markbriggs good to see you, albeit briefly, at #onabrink I remembered the # every now and then! #
  • 02:51 @bsteve76 Are you going to live blog or tweet the PRSA GA social media session? #
  • 02:52 RT @frostfire: Microsoft sues Linux for patent infringements bit.ly/11pW8J #
  • 02:54 My bad, here’s the original: MSFT to sue in-car navigation company TomTom; patent claim involves Linux. (Todd Bishop) is.gd/kSjL #
  • 12:13 Per Vanno, a "social evaluation" suggests Kellogg’s dropping Phelps backfired big time RT @hrheingold: @mtippett tinyurl.com/d2fuyv #
  • 12:55 @chrispirillo I thought you were speaking to the Seattle Chamber today! #
  • 15:18 wiredpen How To: Create A Profile Badge: If you have a blog or a web site with an “about me”.. tinyurl.com/cx9xrc #
  • 16:07 Reminder: discussion in Seattle tonight @ 7pm (city hall) about the future of news(papers). is.gd/jtUe @nnbn #nnbn #
  • 16:58 @jayrosen_nyu Jay, looking forward to tonight’s remote appearance. Side conversation: using your BPS 2006 newspaper data to plot trends. #
  • 19:07 @nnbn #nnbn The No News Is Bad News session is kicking off; issues connecting Jay Rosen. :-/ #
  • 19:16 #nnbn @nnbn Possible future w/no daily newspaper – not a wake – what would you miss w/out a daily, what gaps would be left behind? #
  • 19:23 #nnbn @nnbn Art is talking about the investment (time, resources) needed to do enterprise journalism (but not calling it that). Anecdotes. #
  • 19:35 #nnbn @nnbn Do we need a Modern Fairness Doctrine -> related to providing "news" in exchange for entertainment? #
  • 19:36 @adice #nnbn Jason knows what platform Jay is on and it was working at 6.30. :-/ #
  • 19:37 @bryanzug @nnbn #nnbn Yes – text is one learning style — but we’re too hung up on the delivery mechanism, IMO. #
  • 19:38 @bmw #nnbn I’m guessing that bandwidth is the issue. Don’t know about the phone call part (mike at cellphone speaker) #
  • 19:43 #nnbn @nnbn 40% revenue lost #
  • 20:03 #nnbn @nnbn I stand firm in my assertion that it is better to have 1 profitable local paper than 2 losing money #
  • 20:04 #nnb @nnbn I also stand behind the research that shows no sign difference in local news coverage in Seattle Times & Seattle PI #
  • 20:06 @westseattleblog @bmw – Patricks is in front row in navy jacket & khakis – sitting beside Justin #
  • 20:11 #nnbn @nnbn Art is calling for a publicly-owned news organization like the Green Bay Packers. #
  • 20:12 @bmw #nnbn #nnbn Hey! I said it first when I soapboxed – blogging software is today’s printing press! #
  • 20:14 @danieldone #nnbn @nnbn What other publicly-owned model? #
  • 20:17 @jayrosen_nyu #nnbn @nnbn Having to build trust by hand is more powerful — internet has facilitated huge shift in power – MSM is passe #
  • 20:18 @nnbn @nnbn I’m paraphrasing @jayrosen_nyu when I call MSM passe – he’s talking about the death of one-to-many communication, power. #
  • 20:22 #nnbn Seattle PI enterprise reporter – feel like the steel workers did 20 years ago when their jobs were outsourced #
  • 20:25 @hshaunacausey #nnbn @nnbn I fear Seattle is not going to be able to support two newspaper-like organizations. Co-op biz model has pluses #
  • 20:26 RT @mmatassa: @westseattleblog he’s been holding his own pretty well. #nnbn @nnbn #
  • 20:33 #nnbn @nnbn ownership structure is not the problem. operating losses is the problem. #
  • 20:35 #nnbn @nnbn @jayrosen_nyu Why won’t Hearst open up the books and share financials? #
  • 20:40 #nnbn @nnbn only 10-15% of the expenses of a metro newspaper is the newsroom (Seattle Times) but can’t kill print because of income #
  • 20:43 @mmatassa #nnbn @nnbn Rosen’s point about Hearst & books is valid if Hearst wants "help" in keeping the PI alive. Don’t think they do, tho. #
  • 20:48 RT @markbriggs: Maybe newspapers are making 90% ad revenue from print because putting 90% resources into print instead of online. #nnbn #
  • 20:49 #nnbn @nnbn @jayrosen_nyu making Cory’s point that newspaper sales people don’t know how to sell ads online #
  • 20:52 #nnbn @nnbn @jayrosen_nyu Jay is making points about what journalists could learn from bloggers re ethics, relationships with readers #
  • 20:55 #nnbn @nnbn Citizen from audience brings up digital divide issue. Very real one. #
  • 20:59 @srantz #nnbn @nnbn I don’t think that libraries can solve digital divide problem – because it means people have to go somewhere to get news #
  • 21:00 RT @paulbalcerak: People who believe anything they hear will believe anything in any medium. We can’t make people think a certain way. #nnbn #
  • 21:03 @jayrosen_nyu #nnbn LOL! This _is_ Seattle … talking around tables is in the DNA. #
  • 21:04 #nnbn @nnbn We’ve gone two hours and no one has mentioned Crosscut.com …. absolutely amazing. #
  • 21:05 @KarlRove #TCOT #SGP Rate limit exceeded — a throttle of sorts, to help balance the system. Usually associated with 3rd party app, not web #

  • 16:32 I just read the Mar issue of Wired. Cover-to-cover. I’m glad I re-sub’ed. Worth the price of dead trees! #
  • 16:33 @hrheingold I’d argue that mediated self-organization draws naturally from self-interest as personified in cooperatives. Think REA. #

  • 16:37 @michaelrice Not forgetting (didn’t I say "10"?) but I see neighborhood "blogs"(we need a better name) as covering hyperlocal issues. #
  • 16:39 Also, read Wired re NB phenom. RT @Techmeme: How To: Hackintosh a Dell Mini 9 Into the Ultimate OS X Netbook tinyurl.com/cbyc4k #
  • 16:57 FYI: 30-degree F is too cold to ride motorcycle very long w/out electrics! Fingers froze this AM en route to teach MSF (40 min ride). #
