A Tuesday a-Twitter
Tuesday evening was abuzz with the news that News 2 has encouraged most of their staff to use Twitter. Jared W. Smith appeared on the 6pm broadcast and assembled a reference for those just joining the medium.
The Connection Maven, Cheryl Smithem, mentions tomorrow’s Web 2.0 Seminar and notes an increase of local users.
Patrick Properties is ready for Pecha Kucha on February 25.
Speaking of events, what were you doing on Valentine’s Day? If you were lucky, you joined fellow bloggers, tweeters, and BBQ lovers for a meat-up. Pictured below: Chrys, Jared, Ian, Patrick, Don, Luke, Heather, Dan, Heidi, Kathy, Mark, Janet, Aidan, Vera. I missed a spouse and a didn’t get all of the bloglings.

If you have photos on Flickr from blogger and tweeter meetups, don’t forget to tag them.
Speaking of meet ups, I’m looking to see if anyone else is interested in joining Dan Tennant and I running the i5k on April 16th. We can enter with a team of six and the fee is $25 per person. I’m nowhere near as fast as Dan T, so we can bring up the rear of the group and hope there are still libations left over.
When I explained that we were speaking only about painting lanes on the road, he stood firm, saying he couldn’t be sure that there was sufficient width for bicycle/pedestrian lanes.
Greg Hambrick expects stimulus job creation to be underwhelming locally:
South Carolina’s high unemployment rate means that it will see less of an impact from the jobs created under the stimulus bill than other states. It seems an equitable distribution of the stimulus aid won out over sending more aid to states hardest hit by the economic crisis (That’s not to say that South Carolina would have been smart enough to take the money anyway).
SCIway.net appreciates North Charleston’s efforts toward greener buildings and practices.
Meanwhile Earl wonders about the resignation of the SC Ports Authority Director.
Andra wonders, “Is the Economic Freefall Slowing Down?”
I think that sometimes the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

I can walk but I can’t run. You’d have to put a rope around my belly and pull me. I hope you can rally a team though – I think it would be fun.

For anyone who’s not up for running, I think they are selling tickets to the after-party for $5. Looks like a fun time.
