1. If you look at your Facebook newsfeed you’ll see stories about cute animals mixed with breaking news mixed with personal updates mixed with humor and jokes and entertainment and so you know, why not create a content site for that world instead of a world where you have to pretend that everything on one site is serious, and everything on another site is a joke?

  3. I was at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island for the Islanders-Sabres game tonight. This was my first time ever at this arena. Buffalo lost 4-2, though it was certainly exciting; New York scored the winner with 3 minutes left in regulation and Vanek had a penalty shot with a minute left but hit the post. The Isles then iced it with an empty netter. I’ve now been to these 6 arenas outside of Buffalo for NHL games: Nassau Coliseum (Long Island), Prudential Center (New Jersey), Madison Square Garden (New York), Wachovia Center (Philadelphia), United Center (Chicago), Rogers Arena (Vancouver).

  7. kennedywrites asked: Hey Craig, How did you compromise your private/more shy self with the demands of being visible and open online? I ask because I'm looking into starting my own online magazine under literally a parent company, and feel the same uneasiness as you described when Breaking Tweets initially started to gain followers. Keep in touch!

    Great question, kennedywrites. Yeah, I grew up being more private/shy, quiet for sure. I think online you have to put yourself out there, and it helps to find/follow like-minded folks, similar to you. You see you’re not alone and they also inspire you a bit. It does take time to build confidence. I think today I’m more comfortable than ever. Obviously when I started Breaking Tweets, not as much.

    I think the key is just to be mindful of what you’re saying, how you’re saying it, keep it positive and helpful for others. Think of who’s reading your stuff all the time. You don’t have to put your *whole* self online, you can have a private life too, but if you can find a niche you’re passionate about and share a lot on that, you’ll do pretty well. And show some of your personality too so you’re not just a robot.

  19. shortformblog:

    Alec Baldwin apologizes to himself (in character) on “SNL”: This is a brilliant response on the part of Baldwin to the whole American Airlines/Words With Friends incident earlier this week. Actual quote from Baldwin, playing an American Airlines pilot: “Mr. Baldwin is an American treasure, and I am ashamed at the way he was treated.” Magic.
