#OccupyAustin and the Twitter Rumor Mill
Saturday, October 29th, 2011I haven’t been to #OccupyAustin in a few weeks, but I’ve been following along on twitter pretty carefully.
I noticed something interesting this afternoon.
One tweet popped up, and has been re-tweeted, quoted, and modified for new tweets over 100 times. But here’s the thing. It’s unconfirmed. There have been no videos, no photos, and no reporting from the ground. And yet everyone is re-tweeting it as fact.
I’ve tweeted this reply to 20 of the tweeps who retweeted the original tweet, but only three have retweeted my concerns.
This is unconfirmed. No photos, video or news reports of arrests at #occupyaustin. No one tweeting this from occupy yet!
Maybe something is going on in downtown Austin. But why is everyone so quick to retweet something that has gone completely unconfirmed and unsourced for an hour 79 minutes? An hour on a public arrest with no photos and no videos is like 10 years in old school media.
Why are people so quick to print bad news, but so lazy about confirming whether it is real or not?
Update:
There is something to the new guidelines about city hall, but nothing yet on arrests. Stay tuned to see what the general assembly says and to find out what happens at 10pm or midnight.
I forget to mention…

…that you can sometimes find me twatting on the Twitter. So, stop in and say hello sometime.
Twitter: It’s not just for SoyBlo, though it mostly is.
Something great on Twitter

Twitter kinda-sorta lets you create fan-fic account. Anyway, this Frothy impersonator is putting up all kinds of fun, elaborate puns about that mix of lube and fecal matter.

Tweet, Twit, Twat — the sequel!
Tuesday, April 26th, 2011You may recall previously Soylent Blonde twatted…
She thinks that Jack Daniels is badass, I guess. But Sweet Tea Vodka? WTF?

A. You are a cliché, and 2) It does not mean what you think it means.
Oh, crap.

I’m weirded out that any teacher would assign this. But of course, it could be the “What not to do” part of the poli sci curriculum.
Best Social Media City EVER!
Thursday, February 10th, 2011So, Tengrain is in class. I’ve just finished the on-site portion of my work day, but still have some at-home stuff to do.
However, my posts are light (if at all) today because Austin is the best city ever for social media. We have our monthly #BASHH (formerly #BATHH) Big Ass Socialmedia Happy Hour tonight, an absolutely amazing Austin event that usually attracts at least 300 tweeps, bleeps, bloggers, and people who make their living in the social media world. Best group of friends I have these days, and one of the few occasions when I dig out my fun clothes and my sparkly make-up.
So, either come to Austin and join us, or enjoy some of the many websites in the left margin.

Politico Experiences The Magic of Mooselini
Monday, November 29th, 2010
…and inexplicably Politico reported this.
Here’s what I have learned about Politico: it is not a news organization. To the extent that they report anything at all, they report what people said. There is no reporting ever on what anyone did, no analysis of what anything means, it is just… well, gossip that people inside the beltway say to each other.
Anyway, click the link to the Politico coverage of Mooselini’s tweet. It’s just stunningly vapid.
What’s a booze heiress to do?
Friday, September 24th, 2010Well, well, well, America’s sweetheart, SoyBlo had an unforeseen scheduling conflict and had to bow out of her presentation at some school in PA. Fair enough, unseen conflicts happen from time to time…
…so she blew off the little podunk college…
…and proceded to go to Vegas and tweet about it the whole time…
…she got into a hissy-fit with her hotel…
…found other accomodatons…
…encouraged her twitfam to boycott the other hotel…
…praised herself as an outlaw gangsta chickita…
…Wouldn’t you wanna be just like SoyBlo, that wacky and whimsical, entitled, self-centered, madcap heiress about town?
Siren: Twitter is under attack!
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010
Some sort of virus thingy, but it is spamming Twatter like viagra emails on a hot summer night.
Mooselini is already blaming the lamestream media for silencing her, and we suspect SoyBlo will soon have mascara running down her cheeks as she in impeded from whoring her book sales locations.
Anyway, if you Twattle, you should use a different client than the web page. Or you could just read a nice book (or a snarky blog…)
Chuck I AM NOT A NAIL Grassley has an important message!
