By popular request, my ode to Gary, Indiana -- the town that is turning the world upside down tonight. Gotta admit Twitter has interesting bugs! A few minutes ago, while tracking election returns (Obama wins NC yesss!) all of a sudden the Twitter UI changed to Japanese. Then we started getting ads. Here's one with a Toyota ad. So much for not having a business model! IRC for Indiana/North Carolina I started a chatroom for tomorrow's primaries. irc://irc.freenode.net/#indianaNorthCarolinaPrimary Please join if you want the firehose conversation! Read this post from John Borthwick, my partner in Switch-A-Bit. http://www.borthwick.com/weblog/2008/05/06/future-of-news/ Breaking news covered by a loosely coupled ad hoc group of Twitterlings. Update: Reuters was watching too. |
