A fresh look at why things happen … consistently contributing ideas and knowledge. Yes, we do look back and appreciate that change does happen and is great to have the change. I wonder what the Irish world would have been like if they had blogs to write their world?

Comment on To stay relevant, journalists need to 'flee into the future' by Michelle V. Rafter

Join the club. It’s not just j-school students who feel like it’s hard to keep up with changing technologies. But the fundamentals aren’t changing – reporting, research, writing, etc. – so make sure you learn those, and the tech part will sort itself out.

As a journalism student, I am definitely trying to “flee into the future as fast as I can.” But I feel like I can’t keep up! I thought I was learning all of the “new media” but it has now become old. Students, myself included, need to realize that media is ever changing and we have to keep up in order to make it in the future of journalism. I found this website helpful. It has interviews with professional journalists about the future of journalism. http://www.ourblook.com/index.php?topic=future_of_journalism

Comment on An open letter to Twitter: stop the porn spam by Michelle V. Rafter

Thanks for the comment. Keep making those kinds of comments to Twitter too. A year ago the company didn’t even have a “Report as spam” button, just an @reply that you had to report a porn spammer to. They’ve come along way since then, but I agree that there’s more that could be done.

Were it not for the potato famine I wouldn’t be married to my husband! His Rafter ancestors emigrated to the U.S. from Ireland in the mid-1800s.

Comment on An open letter to Twitter: stop the porn spam by anonymous

I am “sick” of it! It happens at least 2 times a week, having to “report as spam or block” is obviously not doing the job, and Twitter is not working hard enough to prevent such a nuisance. Especially when you own your own business!! How professional is that.. You have followers follow you and some want to check out who we are following or who is following us and then then they get a BIG surprise by it being “porn!”

Legit or not, we shouldn’t have to worry about clicking on a new follower & it be porn!!! Business’s want to run their business not support porn sites!!!!

Get it together Twitter, unless its just another Myspace….
