I took the quiz 3 times just to see which answer was prevalent. Two out of three times got me Pilot. Can't argue with that.

Agreed on all accounts. His narration does make his effort more personable and hilarious.By having an American narrator, we keep GR on a pedestal and keep us guessing. I like the contemporary pop music that the UK version incorporates. It doesn't compare. Lastly, US editing is toward conflict and frenetic camera shots vs. the pastoral, calm pieces in the UK. Don't get me wrong - we still have the profanity but in smaller doses.

One of my UK KN fave is the Fish and Anchor. He's a pisser as a marriage counselor.

Thought maybe you saw this article on techcrunch....

http://www.techcrunch.com/2...

It's pretty much answers some of your questions regarding this very issue. Figure this: regardless of who or where the tweets originates, if the "convos" lies fallow, then the engagement also falls from the vine. Followers wither away. The sun also rises but, assuredly, spring follows winter.

I'm beginning to sound like Chance the Gardener from "Being There"

I wish I had analytics on which cities with the same density population-wise as a comparison. Certainly we must keep awareness for both pedestrians and motorist alike on safe and navigable thoroughfares. I'll keep you posted of what I'll find.

Re: Has micro-blogging destroyed your blog?

hungry_traveler — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:51:15 -0000

Indeed. If you see my blog, metromotoristnyc.blogspot.com, I started earnestly with issue oriented articles which, I find out quickly, to be pedantic and just plain dull. Later, like all blogs, I allowed it to run fallow until I began to implement posterous, tumblr as well as fb/twitter to feed content. Now Google reader allows immediate posting to all platforms, regardless of origin and originality of thought.

In the interwebs, Joseph Schumpeter's model of creative destruction allows for parsing even smaller ideas faster and wider. Look at Evan Williams, one of the originators of Blogger go to work on twitter because he realized "bigger is NOT better" but twitter is mostly viral. I mean, I do enjoy your blog posts but I enjoy your tweets better 'cause it is the conglomeration of thought and content at different intervals that makes for interesting content, especially when links are involved. Links that lead back to your blog.

Looks like a spectrograph of annealed stainless steel. Then again, it looks like a new batik design. UPDATE: Wait you went to see Slumdog Millionaire and this is the dimpled doors of the elevator inside at the theatre. No? Can I phone a friend?
