- @freerangemom I was just working on some changes to the blog, but ended up not making any
# - @bduperrin Gustav will miss Miami. But it’s only August and we’re already up to H with Hanna following its trail … #
- @howardgr This is a model @carvin is suggesting should be replicated for Gustav on MediaWiki: http://katrinahelp.info/wiki/main.html #

- @allaboutenergy Weather’s been crap all day here, but Gustav is steering way wide of us. Doesn’t look good for NOLA, though #
- Learning about PFIF: People Finder Interchange Format http://zesty.ca/pfif/ #
- @vanderwal LOL. I think the real problem will be selective and incomplete coverage
# - @allaboutenergy Who knows … hopefully most are evacuating this time … #

- Retweeting @dayngr: Little Known Fact: There are 327 words in Inuit for Sarah Palin http://twitter.com/Dayngr/statuses/903309200 LOL! #
- Where would Palin be without HRC? #
- @jorge @agustarz @scottstead He just jumped the shark http://tinyurl.com/5rvqsd #6 #
- @jorge Ferraro was decades ago. Palin owes this to HRC, not Ferraro. This is called pandering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandering #
- The thing about Miami is that there are no places to meet up adjacent to I-95. Everything becomes a trek. Brickell may be best choice. #
- @miamime What would you suggest in the Design District? Soyka? There’s also Out of the Blue Cafe on 24th St and NE 2nd Ave. What do u think? #
- @miamime We have option at Morton’s at Brickell. Apparently the happy hour there isn’t pricey. I haven’t been there yet / don’t know … #
- @josuer @miamime Grass is good, but sometimes the music’s way loud. Out of the Blue Cafe it is Tuesday 7:00pm for Social Media Club. Thanks! #
- One thing’s for sure: a lot of ink’s going to be spilled over Sarah Palin, further detracting us from a national discussion on the issues. #
- @agustarz Social Media Club from 7pm to 9pm … arrive when you can http://tinyurl.com/5gz7bl #
- @vicequeenmaria We’ve settled on the Out of the Blue Cafe at 2426 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, for SMC on Tuesday, 7pm. See you there! #
- @jorge55 @jamimiami @enkerli Everything’s a strategic play to feed the media. We have an insatiable hunger for infotainment. #
- SXSW deadline extended: 72 more hrs! Plz vote for Digital Media Literacy w/ @briansolis @howardgr @chrisheuer + me http://ping.fm/zdOkr #
- Politicians have figured out the best way to dull the masses is to throw them a media party. And with this, TGIF on a long weekend. So long. #

# - @shashib Thanks, Shashi! Glad to hear from you
# - Political pundits on TV are otiose. Who gave them authority anyway? What a sorry bunch of suited-up gasbags. #
- @enzymeluv Seriously. Mainstream media hands the loudest and most polarized voices a platform to have at each other. Controversy sells, etc. #
- @enzymeluv Great idea! We’re already getting a song and dance from them, but the way things are, it’s neither rhyme nor reason
# - @leahjones Sorry to hear about your aunt, I hope she’ll be ok #
- @bullyinguk Glad you’ve found it useful. There is no ability to filter/sort by location, we’ll look into what’s possible in that respect. Ty #

- Ok, so when using Ping.fm through IM, make sure you don’t confuse tabs w/ your other convos. Gah. #
- @ScrapNancy Right! I didn’t mean to send those two tweets, they were meant for a private conversation! LOL. No biggie … #
- @chrisbrogan From 12k+ followers, 100+ clicks is about 1% CTR. Are people (all of us) no more effective than banners in recommending stuff? #
- @jptrenn Getting Broganized
However I think a similar ratio applies to us all: only 1% or less will click through anything we recommend. # - @AuctionDirect That’s very interesting. Though the CTR is about the same, the weight of the recommendation is much greater? I agree w/ that. #
- @jptrenn Probably b/c most people consult Twitter infrequently. I think CTRs also depend on marketer’s credibility and tactful perseverance. #
- @AuctionDirect @jptrenn Also, even if conversion ratio is not higher, I bet social media clickers are more likely to retweet / forward #
- Twitter Search is imperfect (though good). It does not pick up my @ reply to @chrisbrogan. Should I assume he didn’t see it either? #
- Been busy lately sending invites, writing an FAQ on GetSatistaction, dealing w/ bugs and talking about StartPR. Sorry I’ve been so quiet … #
