@lyndons Yes, and uncovering truth about Clare was done by those awful, irresponsible bloggers. Nine’s journos failed to check a witness.
RT @stephenconroy: We need to embrace news-as-entertainment. Life’s too short to spend pining for “truth” and “accuracy”.
Tastefully, NEWS.com.au published a gallery of Clare Werbeloff’s previous attention-seeking, swiped from Facebook. http://tr.im/mean
@cameronreilly If she’s aiming for a role in “Underbelly”,maybe a character who ends up in a shallow grave at the end of Act II?
@Taezar “Wasting police time” is a chargeable offence in the UK, but I don’t know about here in Australia. #chkchkboom
@maenad_au No, the Internet isn’t being “taken over by bogans”.The Internet is for everyone now. Including bogans. Welcome to the world.
@stilgherrian @cameronreilly Given the role models commercial TV gives us, it’s hardly surprising Clare thinks this is what to do.
@mpesce I like to think of myself as the calm voice of reason.
Yes, “Bogan” Clare Werbeloff is an attention-seeking liar. Sadly, the moron thinks it “Punk’d” fun. http://tr.im/me51 #chkchkboom
@navytrident09 is a great concept: tweeting from a RAN exercise. A shame there’s been an 11-day gap and we don’t know who you are.
Mon plan (oh yeah, that): A comms-from-my-desk day, including blog posts; maybe errands later, it’s a flexible day.
@mellalicious ActionAid is always looking for new regular donors. ;) http://tr.im/mhVc More details once my mission starts. #toto
@mellalicious Scary story, eh? But powerfully written. Women die ‘cos going to hospital to give birth would cost them $6. #toto
Whacko. In Tanzania each year 13,000 mothers die giving birth or just after. http://tr.im/meOj #toto
@duncanriley A call TO the ATO is generally better than a call FROM the ATO on a Monday morning, I reckon. ;)
Oh, it was a New Moon overnight. That explains a few things.
@SnarkyPlatypus Si vous êtes fatigué de Burt, vous avez marre de la vie elle-même.
@SnarkyPlatypus Gosh. That proposed light rail link to Dulwich Hill also has electoral benefits. How fortuitous. http://is.gd/D0KE
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. J’ai déjà été interrogé une fois ce matin. Ne pas question moi! http://tr.im/mhxz Et vous?
@sylmobile Well, I was a producer for ABC 891 Adelaide, amongst other media there, so yeah I’m sure there’ll be some interest.
OK, I’m on after the news… time for me to pretend to be paying attention. Thank the god for caffeine, also.
@alondono Oh yes, that’s AM radio, like a lot of ABC local radio. 891kHz in Adelaide.
Being interviewed on ABC 891 Adelaide shortly, after 0630 ACST (0700 AEST). Streamed at http://abc.net.au/adelai… #toto
Andy Thorpe http://tr.im/mhmQ said the ABC was Australia’s largest sheltered workshop. I’m thinking now more of a hospice.
I’m thinking the entire ABC lives inside @SnarkyPlatypus’ mid-tempo gap. Wait. That sounds wrong.
Listening to ABC radio, I can’t help noticing how old everything sounds. Presenters, music, callers. And I’m not exactly a kid myself.

I’m talking about my Tanzania trip on ABC 891 Adelaide after 0630 ACST (0700 AEST, i.e. in an hour or so). http://abc.net.au/adelai… #toto
Emerges. Early, yes, but I have a radio interview this morning.

Oh this’ll cheer everyone up. “Oh, we didn’t realise…” http://tr.im/mftK
Mobile. Enmore Rd / King St / SEKRIT meeting at The Afternoon Officeâ„¢.
Aha! New “A Series of Tubes” podcast with Geodynamics on data centres and me on NBN and Project #TOTO. http://tr.im/meRR Ta, @R_Chirgwin!
RT @stephenconroy: “Can you get Swine Flu from a blunt-force head injury?” Only if you head-butt the pig. Or any other kind of butt.
@GaryPHayes Careful, Sir, you are likely to make very very stabby with that!

@GaryPHayes Taxonomy, in this case, I mean whether X “is” ill-defined “social media”, “Web 3.0” or whatever. No definitions first = wanking.
@GaryPHayes Oh, and consultants getting business thru word of mouth…? It has to be someone else’s mouth, not their own.
@GaryPHayes But, I do find that trying to construct taxonomies in fast-changing realms can lead to wankerdom. ;)
@GaryPHayes Word of Mouth is comms content, social media is a venue/medium IMO. So different things. WOM can happen via SM, and elsewhere.
@GaryPHayes I’ve generally found that competent consultants get more business than they can cope with by word of mouth alone.
If I had a book, I could auto-DM all new Twitter followers to the “buy my book” page. That’d make me a REAL social media expert.
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: I should add @ING me will mean 84% more chance of a follow-back. [Ditto. Maybe 94% even, for me.]
Maybe I should update “Choosing who I follow on Twitter” http://tr.im/mevZ The “probably skip” list is now “will skip”.
@jodiem I may turn off new-follower notifications. Should I care if someone’s listening to me without saying hello?
@GaryPHayes Nah, it doesn’t tear apart social networks unless sheep choose to plug into sellers’ messages. People make their own choices.
@Lilylauren I’m looking at my backlog of new-follower notices. The proportion of people selling something is rising fast. I despise them.
@dagnabbit_ You’d be referring to this hot Young Liberal here? http://tr.im/merF Ayn Rand as eroticism? Worse than gnomes!
Dear Robot Morons, if I just mention your city on Twitter, it doesn’t mean I’m looking for a job there. Ditto a product and me buying it.
RT @caseyg_ The “lies by clients” on this list is pretty much on the money. http://bit.ly/nOL7b [Agreed. As are the lies by contractors.]
@SnarkyPlatypus Where is this “young Libs babes” gallery of which you speak?
@prawn_gravies “Clare Werbeloff, you’re a terrible disappointment”? Ah, yes, there’s a lesson in this for all of us. ;)
