I'll keep it handy in case of emergency. Not so sure about being the grammar and spelling Nazi though and I'll be seeking advice from Godwin's lawyers.Derek Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581505641163336050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639100.post-29520422600010400922009-08-28T05:25:57.395+10:002009-08-28T05:25:57.395+10:00No, far from it!

Twitter is very much a part of Media140 and the global events we organise.<br /><br />Twitter is indeed creating a complete shift in the typical communication paradigms that are usually associated with journalism and broadcasting.<br /><br />Media140 events really get to the heart of how Twitter is changing and challenging many industries to re-think many of their traditional values and modes of communication.<br /><br />Am glad you are looking forward to Media140 Sydney, it will be great to see you there!<br /><br />Love, Media140Media140http://www.media140.com/sydneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639100.post-87358989327944355782009-08-28T01:51:33.170+10:002009-08-28T01:51:33.170+10:00Oh, and I wasn't aware of the term "phati...Oh, and I wasn't aware of the term "phatic conversation" but I understood the meaning behind it as soon as the "pointless babble" study was published. <br /><br />One person's "pointless babble" is another's way of socialising, of building trust and community with others, and the arrogant attitude of the company that did the "study" shows how little regard they have for the way people deal with each other.David Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594699576390357505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639100.post-65558558217816909592009-08-28T01:46:23.166+10:002009-08-28T01:46:23.166+10:00In your last two posts, you've spelt David Hin...In your last two posts, you've spelt David Hinchliffe's name correctly, and you've shown you understand the difference between "discrete" and "discreet". <br /><br />I hereby grant you the life-long post of Grammar and Spelling Nazi of the World, and hand you the Cattle-Prod of Correction.<br /><br />Enjoy your newfound power!David Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594699576390357505noreply@blogger.com
