The Twitter Reply Conspiracy

A while back Twitter changed the reply function so that you only saw responses to people you were following. Which means when you send an @tiffanystarnes message, instead of going to everybody that follows you, it only goes to people who follow both the me AND you. So your college buddy in Wisconsin won't ever see your pithy response to my eloquent 140 chracter genius.

I try to explain this "Tiffany style" on LPTV. Pretty sure I wasn't drinking, but also pretty sure I only confused the situation further. Long story short...if you want everyone who follows you to see your Twitter posts, put a period before the @ when you Tweet.

But, if you want to hear about Dianne and the band guy carpooling to a U2 concert...

PS. Yet another Phoenix commercial. Maybe I need to get an Associates degree.

What's a Friend Worth

Another Launch Pad TV post from the archives. I talk about whether IRL (In Real Life) connection is necessary to build meaningful relationships given the bevy of online tools to connect.

Oh, and um, like, my hair is totally much better in this one.

PS. Still can't get rid of the Phoenix ad. I am not a Phoenix. But good for them.

Launch Pad TV

The last few weeks I've been doing a segment on Launch Pad TV about whatever I happen to think is interesting in social media. It's basically a random blathering diatribe about one thing or another and usually involves lots of "um, so totally, like" Tiffisms. Well, for some reason they keep asking me to come back. Meanwhile my blog is off in the corner pouting at my blatant neglect. So, I figured, why not post my social media rants here?

This week, I , um, like totally talk about the social media impact on the Iran elections. With a touch of a hangover. And dirty hair. Don't judge.
