- Just found http://oneword.com via @patrickbjohnson‘s blog – an awesome writing-prompt concept that could just as easily prompt songs. #
- @Jenniferalyse Do you mean one of the knobs on your tuners came off? in reply to Jenniferalyse #
- @Jenniferalyse Sounds like you have individual tuners, which is good – better than replacing a whole row! Try calling Bluebond Guitars. in reply to Jenniferalyse #
- @Jenniferalyse On MusiciansFriend.com it doesn’t look like they sell singles. Could be an opportunity to upgrade them all to a better ratio? in reply to Jenniferalyse #

- @billlublin @anniemal Summary of themes: http://bit.ly/90T3zy / video highlights: http://bit.ly/aMr2Hv #
- Talking @smcphilly about “shiny new objects” in social media that do more than shine; what are we using in everyday life? Do you have one? #
- @lizasperling Hearing wonderful things about you & @scoutlabs at @smcphilly mtg. You have a groundswell of Philly fans! cc: @socialbrown #
- @bitsandwatts Talking about you @smcphilly meeting! People are really fascinated by what you’re doing! You should come to a mtg or #140conf #

- @EileenOBrien I’ll be either deflated or exploding w/energy: concert the night before, playing a show that night, @ibxrun10 next day! in reply to EileenOBrien #
- Says @BillLublin: “My shiny new object is @FlowTown.” Says me, “Is that for people who primarily tweet on the toilet.” (I’m sorry, too easy) #
- But seriously, @flowtown is a service to reverse-lookup your email contacts across all social networks, & message/engage them where they are #
- I must confess, I unabashedly love tweets about my hair. RT @anniemal I just realized @krisis has jobro hair. The hot JoBro! I love it! #

- Good morning! Will your day be awesome? It starts my amazing weekend: @ibxrun10 Expo, @paramore, @mktgcampphl, bit.ly/fsac1005 & @ibxrun10! #
- Apple pulling the plug on LaLa! http://bit.ly/aUnYxh As tools disappear, the content we embedded w/them is devalued. #
- @radiocolin I’ve always been of that mind, but have been tempted to run posts with Lala embeds, thinking it was the web presence of iTunes. in reply to radiocolin #
- @StarrGazr Totally not cool. It was something the space lacked – an expansive, sharable discography site. in reply to StarrGazr #
- @billlublin Bill, it is always a pleasure (and usually a hearty, scandalized chuckle) to hang out with you ;) in reply to billlublin #

- I’m playing in @ General Lafayette Inn tomorrow night w/my duo & wife’s @filmstarband. $5 cover & great brews! http://bit.ly/fsac1005 #
- I’m done w/my personal profile on Facebook. Many features not working & new changes shattered my interest lists. Going the way of MySpace. #
- 30 videos, shot! Final ad, submitted! Now on to the next stage of weekend: road trip to AC w/@amanda_nan to see @paramore & @ournameisfun! #
- @eedawson Seriously, everyone whipped out the sausage look as soon as it got over 80! @amanda_nan & I just saw an egregious example. in reply to eedawson #
- I fear we may have entirely missed @ournameisfun during our parking saga, which for once was not due to our inadequate navigation skills. #
- I know this may be met with incredulity, but @paramore is seriously one of the best live bands in the US right now. @amanda_nan can back me. #
- @mookyninja I was going to skip them this summer at Festival Pier, but I don’t know if I can really do it. They’re so damn good live. #
- Parked in the balcony @ #mcp10 w/ @mariatsciarrino. In more of an indie-rock mode than a marketing mode, but they’re more similar than not. #
- Enjoying @therealstevered‘s #mcp10 keynote; in the democratized production era, Marketing is telling true stories about the heart of a brand #
- @mariatsciarrino could be fun. At trendcamp I did trends in music delivery/consumption as a roundtable, was awesome. Lunch/discuss? in reply to mariatsciarrino #
- BrandFail #1 “Don’t sell what you don’t have.” Advertising hyperbole is only effective when it’s completely true. #mcp10 #
- BrandFail #2 agrees w/the RedTet talk: know the heart of your brand, & make sure that core meaning inhabits every piece of marketing. #mcp10 #
- I’m intrigued by carrying these ideas to band marketing; are you consistenly selling the heart of your music & not the extremities? #mcp10 #
- @MattJH I’ve resolved to stop walking by and start stopping in. I like the atmosphere they cultivate. in reply to MattJH #
- I have apparently become the person that needs to step out of sessions to take business calls. Hopefully I still look hot in a tight t-shirt #
- Are our opinions of brands are partially based on how they response to offers of corrections & assistance? Via @chuckhall & Whitney Hoffman. #
- Pretty psyched to see how the session @mariatsciarrino & I dreamed up @ lunch stands up. “Rock Brands.” How is marketing like a good chorus? #
- Psyched to see how the session @mariatsciarrino & I dreamed up @ lunch stands up. “Rock Brands.” How is marketing like a good chorus? #mcp10 #
- Our session got promoted to the 100+ seat recital hall. No pressure, but we’re talking about incorporating some karaoke. #mcp10 #
- I have found that @markmag always presents presentations that have the most lively & personal discussion. Always a sure bet to attend #mcp10 #
- Our session was fun! Interesting to take the lessons of great (& terrible) bands & apply them to the world of brand marketing #mcp10 #
- Departing for the next element of my jam-packed weekend: our show w/ @filmstarband in Lafayette Hill. Stop by? http://bit.ly/fsac1005 #

- In the VIP tent covering the race for the web, looking up runner names on the web for the reporter from Daily News! I’m sortof a journalist! #
- It’s 9:30 and all of the winners have already crossed the finish @ibxrun10! The pack is thickening as the 6-minute-mile men begin to cross. #
- Omg, seriously? How does my hair read on tv? RT @melissa_shae: Just saw @krisis on @6abc in his black @ibxrun10 track suit! in reply to melissa_shae #
- I helped some folks from the press look up finisher names on my laptop. Very honored to chat w/Bill Fleischman from Daily News @phillydotcom #
- @SocialBrown You’l have to come down with me next year. It absolutely beautiful! in reply to SocialBrown #
- Our CEO just crossed the finish line arm in arm with another runner! An awesome moment. And now, a finish line engagement…? #
- @SocialBrown cool, I’m just looking at the hash mostly #
- I just used “MF-er” in an unironic way for the first time in my life, but it was totally warranted. #
- I’m very grateful for my race outfit, but nothing replaces my Saucony running shoes. They feel like slippers compared to all other sneakers. #
- @MattJH @jerseyshorejen Went to the awesome PhiladelphiaRunner, they evaluated my odd feet & located the best-fitting shoes I’ve ever owned. in reply to MattJH #
- Pins are bent in card-reader on my computer, the fastest in the house. Now have to upload 4000+ photos on one of the older ones. Argh. #
- My computer is in several parts on my floor but I cannot reassemble it due to constant sneezing/snuffling from allergies unchecked by meds. #
- @saraiderin @laphemmephoodie Usually a daily decongestant will take the edge off even on the worst day, but this is as bad as i’ve ever been #
- Is it bad that reading “The 40 Deadliest Fast Food Deals” helped me decide on what I wanted to order for dinner? #
