Social Media Top 5: Twisney’s onto something: where next?

As if any blogger or social media addict needed ego-inflation, the kind folks at Utterz called me an “immortal” among mobile podcasters. Apparently I’m a mobile podcaster. Ok, I’ll buy that. Immortal? well, that would be cool:

In a social media world wheree even the unassailable Steve Rubel has to admit he was “Wr-wr-wr-wr-wrong” (as Fonzie might say)*. I know that immortality could easily become a burdensome responsibility. I am ready.

OK, on to the social Media Top 5.

Well, as I discovered on vacation, someone went and did it– I tried to get away for a week and someone (a Mr. Scott Mitchell I believe) went and made it so Walt Disney world is no longer a Twitter-Free zone.

At the risk of stretching last week’s “disconnecting” theme past it’s limit, here are the next five previously peaceful places that will soon be violated by Twitter API.

1. Mt. Everest – Climber615: Leaving Base Camp: Will Tweet from summit. 15 days ago from Mobile
2. Mall of America** – I’ve never been there– do they have a Monorail? I bet those Tweets would be indistinguishable from Twisney Tweets.

   (update- holy smokes I just looked at the Mall of America site– they have an amusement park and everything! might as well be Disney)

   

   Bjorn: Uff da! Sven got sick on the flight simulator dere. Off to Nordstrom’s 10 minutes ago from Mobile

3. Church***:

Parishioner3-16: Pastor reading from Jeremiah this Sunday, and Mrs Barnes won;t take her scremaing baby out of the sanctuary- again. I see a connection. 3 minutes ago from Mobile

4. Airlines finally let cell phones on planes. If you think Twitter is full of Combine Twitter addictiveness with 6 hours of nothing to do, and we’ll start breaking Twitter all over again:
   • DougH: Plane now over Detroit 37 minutes ago from Mobile
   • DougH: Plane now over Flint 40 minutes ago from Mobile
   • DougH: Plane now over Saginaw 43 minutes ago from Mobile
   • DougH: Plane now over Lansing 46 minutes ago from Mobile
   • DougH: Plane now over Battle Creek 49 minutes ago from Mobile

That’s not five, but I’m jet lagged still. Feel free to fill in the blanks for me :).

* The same Fonzie responsible for the term “Jump the Shark.” Just sayin’.
