- @wjchat Joining in as well. Mark Johnson, photojournalism/viz journalism prof. at the University of Georgia. #wjchat #
- I would say … 7. RT @melissalyttle: ::sigh:: i wonder how many photo kids today even know what this is… http://bit.ly/j2PrF4 #
- It just dawned on me that I haven't been to the @stpr_rally since 2005. How is that possible? I must make amends. #
- My mother-in-law just bought a $1400 kitten. Breeding rights were an extra $1600, so she passed on that. I'm glad she's being reasonable. #
- RT @sarahclundgren: i assume it's #nationaldonutday since it's trending. hey #jour5370 go #docdonuts @SaraDCaldwell @fmicklow @markejohnson #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-05-29
- @lauren_p_allen You should be looking for a breaking news story – something that couldn't be planned for in advance. #jour5990 #
- I'm pretty sure I'd rather stain a wood fence every few years than deal with vinyl fence installers ever again. Go ahead, quote me on that. #
- @vhernandezcnn You sip at it like a never-ending water fountain, otherwise you drown. That's how you handle the firehouse of Twitter. #
- Just learned a good friend (to me and my students) was unceremoniously downsized. I am very tired of this recession. Also, stupid managers. #

- RT @KarenRussell: RT @sidneyeve: New graduates have unrealistic expectations about their first jobs: study http://bit.ly/jTBZr3 #
- @AndreaBriscoe You shouldn't care about grades – only the learning. #
- RT @KarenRussell: Great post for #5990 class Twitter tutorial today: http://tinyurl.com/3aqshvj #
- RT @athensgaweather: Download the FREE iMap weather radio app for iPhone only. Typically $10. It can save your life! http://bit.ly/hOSDmb #
- Today's lesson in home ownership: A 4.5 foot sidewalk can not be covered by a 4 foot gate. #whywesuboutsomethings #notmyproblem #
Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-05-15
- Looking at student multimedia pieces from other classes this morning, we seem to have a big problem on what constitutes "fair use." #
- Teaching is a lot like watching TV in the 70s: The signal goes out just fine, but not everyone's antenna is pointed in the right direction. #
- I love baseball and all, but photo 14 here is insane: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/05/mississippi_river_flooding.html #
- And the big clock goes on the screen, deadline at 5. http://t.co/q0C7SNh #
- RT: @markejohnson fantastic, nice big user-friendly graphic! in the real world there are only terse emails and angry phone calls, kids. #
- Everyone made deadline. Only a few tears, no blood shed. On to grading … ugh. #
- I am reviewing the most horrible text book proposal ever. It's patronizing, arrogant and out of touch – and that's just the first two pages. #
- "How would you describe this book to colleagues?" Good trees died in vain. Maybe I shouldn't be a book reviewer … #
- Pool is open. Sort of. http://t.co/JNpdLFd #
- Spending almost $50 to fill up a Volkswagen Golf seems crazy. Missing my 1982 Civic a bit. http://t.co/G5gFlDW #
- Totally made my day. RT @SaraDCaldwell: Told ya I'd do it. http://twitpic.com/4wdl4u #
- Every time I use MarsEdit, I learn something new. Today, Command-Shift-D sends a post live – same key stroke as sending in Apple's Mail. #
- To the students … you should be following @vizjournalism for industry info. (Yes, shameless self promotion there.) #
- @redsweater Not learned in panic. Finished writing & my fingers did they usually do. Had I read the instructions, woulda known sooner. #
- @brandilarsen AP, AFP, Reuters, etc. lost a chance to stand up – they should have been refusing to shoot these long ago. (Said curmudgeonly) #
- Need to get that emphasis on there, don't I? Next project. RT @SaraDCaldwell: My name, duh #graduation #docdonuts http://twitpic.com/4x8fkd #
Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-05-08
- All students are asking for more online journalism courses, yet I offer one for the fall and only get one kid. Maybe I needed print fliers? #
- RT @Ihnatko: "Son," my Dad said, "don't live your life in such a way that the whole world unites to rejoice news of your death." A wise man. #
- Wrote a great joke, only to be told someone else told it 11 hours ago. #keepingmydayjob #
- Off to class, one last time … well, until Maymester starts in two weeks.
Damn, this isn't that dramatic, is it? #
- @joshdweiss @SaraDCaldwell This is NOT a competition. #

- @jakeforddaniels If you're going to be your own multimedia event, you have to be everywhere … #
- NYT, CNN, AJC, local paper, but mostly RSS feeds, check 10-15 times a day. RT @brandilarsen: #Journalism friends:Where do you get your news? #
- Now online: New NPPA Business Blitz Workshops Announced http://visualjournalism.info/?p=3288 (via @VizJournalism) #

- Email asking for a student to shoot a wedding: New Year's Eve, "get experience and paid!" Pay: $250 for the whole evening, may include meal. #
