Transcript of #editorchat 6/17
[21:41:05] BeckyDMBR: @fixin2 G’night! #editorchat
[21:41:28] LisaGemini: @lauriemeisel Just like w/ testimonials, you’re always gonn have cheaters. #editorchat
[21:41:29] milehighfool: @mhertz Plus, Twitter allows for multiple accounts. Case in point: @editorchat, owned by guess who? (Grin.) #editorchat
[21:42:02] CAroundTheWorld: we’ve had success w this at USAT @ahynes I’m wondering more about contacting Tweeps about coming forward and being interviewed.#editorchat
[21:42:04] bacigalupe: RT @jimnduncan Is there any journalistic lingo at work in twitter? DS=developing story, AT= attributed to? #editorchat
[21:42:15] lauriemeisel: @LydiaBreakfast I am sure that journalism was not a factor in Twitter’s creation. But it is a *tool* for that means now. #editorchat
[21:42:16] jennipps: @milehighfool Heh. In that case, I own a few myself. One for me, two for organizations I belong to/do PR for. #editorchat
[21:42:17] LydiaBreakfast: Good Q RT @jimnduncan Is there any journalistic lingo at work in twitter? DS=developing story, AT= attributed to … #editorchat
[21:42:37] BeckyDMBR: @shortformernie Eat me. /snort #editorchat
[21:42:38] LisaGemini: @ahynes1 Does it take a while to find the suspect … uh, I mean, tweeter? #editorchat
[21:42:38] WpgGirl: @ksablan Great contributions and POV tonight. Thanks and nice meeting you! #editorchat
[21:43:39] mhertz: @milehighfool Exactly. I love Twitter, but don’t depend on it for my news. It leads me to stories, sure, but doesn’t create them #editorchat
[21:43:50] ahynes1: @LisaGemini When I’ve tried to find the organizational or political tweeter, it usually only takes a phone call or two. #editorchat
[21:43:54] BeckyDMBR: @LydiaBreakfast I don’t think they had any idea. I still find it amusing that non-journalism world is talking abt journalism. #editorchat
[21:43:55] milehighfool: Other best practices for real-time publishing? Attribution certainly. What else? #editorchat
[21:44:01] rersf: RT @fanihiman95376 Esp During civil unrest,disasters,fastbreaking events,citizens on streetW/Cellphones can capture scene #editorchat
[21:44:14] LydiaBreakfast: So what else do we have tweeps? What do we see emerging right now, with the Iran stories and others? #editorchat
[21:44:24] MistyMontano: @jimnduncan depends on the media outlet-4me & @cbs4denver, absolutely journalist lingo is used…make it clear what is happening #editorchat
[21:44:27] WpgGirl: Bloggers gain credibility the more they blog and the more followers they attract. Does the same make Tweeps reliable sources? #editorchat
[21:44:36] dawnriversbaker: @CAroundTheWorld I have turned to tweeps for interviews and found it good. A tool for journos to sort tweeps would help. #editorchat
[21:44:38] shortformernie: @BeckyDMBR Eat you? But I barely know you. #editorchat
[21:45:13] BeckyDMBR: @lauriemeisel Like I said yesterday to someone who said Twitter powered revolution: Twitter is tool, not engine. #editorchat
[21:45:15] milehighfool: @MistyMontano Yeah, and talk about a real-time job. All you do is breaking news, right? #editorchat
[21:45:26] GLHancock: @WpgGirl hardly because so many follow automatically, filtering out the followed’s tweets. #editorchat
[21:45:36] TimOBrienNYT: @jennipps @LydiaBreakfast @lauriemeisel Twitter’s emerged as potentially more powerful info channel than FB or other social nets #editorchat
[21:45:38] LisaGemini: @WpgGirl I think Tweeps w/ a lot of followers make good sources, but should always be checked. #editorchat
[21:45:52] CAroundTheWorld: @dawnriversbaker We have found that not every tweeter wants to go “on the record” w/ real name,etc. And we need that to publish. #editorchat
[21:45:59] BeckyDMBR: @milehighfool Accuracy. Fact-checking. #editorchat
[21:46:09] ahynes1: I like PeopleBrowsr to sort tweets. Friends prefer Tweetdeck or Seesmic #editorchat
[21:46:09] netta50: Need to fly, all. Thanks for the food for thought. See you next time. #editorchat
[21:46:09] jennipps: RT @WpgGirl Bloggers gain credibility the more they blog & the more followers they attract. Does the same make Tweeps reliable #editorchat
