Thought I’d pass on this column from Paul Sims at the SDN. Paul does a good job. I really liked his Rush column from a few weeks ago.
This pull quote was interesting:
Locally, this newspaper first dove into the idea of using Twitter on the fly as a way to inform the public about results in the May primary election.
Can anybody find their Twitter feed on their website?
The landscape is really changing. Who would have thought a small website like StarkvilleNow could pull in over 7,000 pageviews that night in question? And over 10,000 for election night?
I looked for a Twitter link on the SDN site, but I got caught up in the pickle movie and forgot what I was doing there.
Yeah, Troy. Since the Starkville Dispatch was announced, I think SDN must have just given up on their website. I check it every day, and all they have had on their lately is some survey about what people like to do during the summer. I don’t know about you, but during the summer, I like to go to the beach and be able to keep up with the news in my hometown via the internet. Maybe I should assume that no news is good news?
