@mayorsamadams: Twitter On!

by jgx

If we are not part of the conversation or listening to the conversation, then what are we here for? For me the conversation takes many forms today. My personal preferred way is face to face. But that’s not always the way it happens or needs to happen.
We have at our [...]

Twitterpated Over Stephanie Stricklen

by Cosmic Charlie

Social media has come a long way in the last couple of years. Remember when it was socially incorrect to handle invitations, break-ups etc… by e-mail, and we were supposed to send a letter or, heaven forbid, pick up a phone and actually call someone? I hear the phrase “I hate talking on the phone” [...]

“I’m melting, MELTING…”

by Cosmic Charlie

When I started following people on Twitter, one of the more charming folk I discovered was film director David Lynch, Eagle Scout. For a while he was posting his own daily weather report for the Los Angeles area. Well, I’m no meteorologist, and certainly am short on the talent and charm compared [...]

Burgerville + Beer + Twitter = Excellent

by Aaron

Last week, a group of local Twitter users arranged a meetup at the Salmon Creek Burgerville. Part of the motivation was just to meet some folks in real life, but the other reason for this particular location is that it’s the pilot location for beer and wine sales at Burgerville.
Don’t fear the beer. [...]

TrimeTwitter

by Dieselboi

As you know, Twitter jumped the shark a couple of weeks ago when Ashton Kutcher and Oprah jumped aboard. Needless to say, Twitter has been all over the news and everyone is asking about it. On Mother’s Day, did your mom A) give you her Twitter handle or B) ask you “about this twitter thingy…?” [...]

Our Long National Nightmare is Now Over!

by Betsy Richter

No, we haven’t found a cure for cancer. We haven’t solved the issue of world peace. Hell, we can’t even begin to solve the infighting on our own City Council (not to mention break up squabbles between toddlers on the playground.)
But we *have* been fighting a battle of sorts mostly behind the scenes: [...]

SLL: A Night With John Nastos

by CamiKaos

Friday night saw another big first in the history of SLL. During Afterhours we had a live musical performance right there in our little studio, but before that happened we had a very informative Tech Edition. Usually I like one episode from the night better than the other and it’s usually pretty clear cut [...]

What Twitter could have given Sam, and Portland

by Abraham Hyatt

Late last month, when the whole Gov. Blagojevich indictment situation was threatening to taint Barack Obama’s transition, two writers at the Politico put together a list of “five rules of scandal response” that the president-to-be had intentionally, or unintentionally, imposed on his staff. Rule No. 1 was simple: “Be transparent, to an extent.”
Sam Adams didn’t [...]
