hyperconnectivity is weird

06 March 2009

Today I put a somewhat humorous, somewhat really-meaning-it "tweet":


A while later, the Weather Channel wrote back!


First of all, Weather Channel is a liar, but they like me so I'll let it slide this time. Second, holy crap! This is like the weatherman reaching out of the TV and grabbing you, whispering sweet sunny nothings in your ear. What the heck? Oh Twitter, maybe you make me TOO connected.

Ha! Twitter is the devil, but I love it anyway. This is why I try not to say anything disparaging about Comcast there because I know @comcastcares is always watching.

Thanks for the blog post! Awhile back we were playing around with the twitter search functionality and the right people in the company finally realized that we could see what people were saying about us. Then we had to consider when we should respond to tweets and what tone we wanted to use. We were aiming for friendly, not creepy.
