DISQUS

Agree with Phil. We need you to have an iPhone. Stat! You are always pushing us to think about this new world we are creating.

Wonderful interview. I did not know about Burnt Orange Report and I look forward to reading it. Also I love reading about Lee Leffingwell and how this campaign will be an open and transparent movement - and how it understands how to use social media. Really like the way they are using Twitter - transparency and two way communication. Glad you went back to do the interview again!

People are always asking me where to say in NYC that's not too expensive. So it is great to know about the RogerSmithHotel. Their rooms are so big, I wonder if it might have been an old apartment building before it became a hotel. I agree - who cares about the old lady wall paper, need to upgrade the bathroom- that kind of hotel room space in a Manhattan hotel is so rare, it's worth it.

May I just say Wow.

Cannot wait to try the recipe. Thanks very much for sharing it.

My very apolitical brother, called me that same night of the Democratic 2004 convention, and told me that Obama would be our president someday. I was shocked. My brother does not watch speeches, let alone political conventions. And he was very impressed that night.

So very sad your grandmother did not live to see tonight. But she knew what was gonna happen. She knew. She saw the future. How wonderful is that.

Very thoughtful and very well said.

Way to go banannie - love this post.

I found myself thinking just today about how my world has just exploded in the last year since I began to share more of myself online. Your post makes me so thankful that I have. If you don't take risks, you just don't grow, let alone find connections you never knew you were missing.

Hey - just used kzhsaf invite code to sign up for Twitterphone.

I a social media newbie, and began with Fbook to find a way to communicate with nieces and nephews, just last summer. Then an old mainstream media friend introduced me to LoicLeMeur and I began using Seesmic in early Nov07. It was then when I realized that Twitter was a Seesmic backchannel and that many Seesmates were conversing on Twitter as well, that I needed to create a Twitter account, which I did in early 2008. First I began following fellow Seesmates on Twitter like Pistachio, Documentally, philcampbell, deekdeekster, Purplecar, banannie, christinelu but on Twitter quickly discovered Hugh MacLeod, Dave Winer, Doc Searls, and Mr. Brogan and about 350 others so far.

So I've been in the social media world for less than a year, and it has been an eye opening experience, having come from an old media background (news and documentary producer) as I have. This experience has led me to a new universe of relationships I have only just begun to explore. My plan for the next few months for social media is to get to know my new social media universe offline because it enhances the experience online.

Best way to get in I'd say is Twitter and find a friend you already know to follow - follow some of the folks they follow and don't worry about what you say on Twitter. As Pistachio said at a recent nycpodcamp (I paraphrase), best way to be on Twitter is to be yourself.
