Comments on: The New Jersey twitterverse: An experiment http://www.theexplodingnewsroom.com/2008/01/26/the-new-jersey-twitterverse-an-experiment/ by john hassell Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:14:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: johnhassell http://www.theexplodingnewsroom.com/2008/01/26/the-new-jersey-twitterverse-an-experiment/#comment-50 johnhassell Tue, 29 Jan 2008 02:15:51 +0000 http://www.theexplodingnewsroom.com/2008/01/26/the-new-jersey-twitterverse-an-experiment/#comment-50 Shawn, Thanks for dropping by. We've set up twitter accounts for breaking news, business, NJVoices.com (our community opinion site) and our Giants coverage: NJ_News NJ_Business NJ_Voices NJ_Giants Twitterfeed automatically delivers the headlines from those blogs (with tinyurl links) to followers (who can opt to receive them as text messages, a nice bonus). The Giants account is the first one I've followed up on by adding lots of NJ followers, but I plan to do the same with the others after a few days. We don't have reporters using Twitter as part of their beat coverage yet, but I hope to find a few volunteers (anyone? anyone?) to give it a shot. If you find other creative ways to use twitter, please let me know. Shawn,

We've set up a few Twitterfeeds over here at MLive, but we haven't really spent time updating our Tweets or friends. Are your producers/reporters actively using Twitter with their own messages? or are you using Twitter feeds too? Nice use of Twitter John.
