Clint – Thanks for the background info. Very interesting. Oh, and how did you get the ABC7 video embedded on your site? I was trying to figure out how to do that!

Hi RachelleB, we found out about Jason’s idea for a story back in October when @ev at twitter made a tweet about it.

@ejacqui contacted Jason and invited him to a tweet up at The Pepper Canister in river north and we invited a few of our friends.

That phone and contact list is either mine (@clint) or @ejacqui’s or @leahones or @chartier or @jkestr or @reckless. They filmed me using Twitter on my phone for a little while so it’s probably mine

[...] I tried to explain Twitter a few posts ago. This video from Channel 7 in Chicago does the same and has screen shots of my friend Rachelle’s Twitter page. [...]

It pays to have a profile image.

also, I forgot to note that ABC must have been sitting on this segment for a while. The twitter messages that are shown in the screen shots are from October 29.
