mikecane: @kwohlrob Did you miss the "Return on Attention" meme from the other day, re: blogs sell? #TOC
mikecane: Is UM POD only? Ignoring eInk/iPhone other screens? #TOC
mikecane: @strata Both have been quiet for some time. And search twitter doesn't carry everything, like Google. #TOC
mikecane: @SmartBitches I have seen custom Sony Reader covers on etsy, fyi. #TOC

mikecane: @kwohlrob Go read Jules Verne's Paris in the 20th Century and you'll understand why. #TOC
mikecane: More BSOD from TweetGrid. I have Twitter clogging on my end. No tweets. #TOC
mikecane: @jasonboog Great post! I will send it to some writers. #TOC Go !!
: @mikecane: Time for ?
mikecane: @jalada Ha! Twitterfall froze for me after 5 minutes yesterday. TweetGrid is OK. Even Twitterfox shows Twitter FAILing. #TOC
mikecane: Dying dinosaurs of print: -- because funny cats are so 2008!! #TOC
mikecane: Red icon at Twitterfox. Twitter has gone tits up. #TOC
: @mikecane ITYM "twits up". :) #toc

mikecane: @doctorow People tend to use only the first half, which drives me up the wall. As you have seen! #TOC Writers must pay rent, buy food!

: My #TOC conference notes at featuring Twitterati @mikecane @katmeyer @chrisbrogan & others
mikecane: It's near 7PM. I guess it's time to admit I do NOT want to get to the frikkin backlog. Three days of #TOC near destroyed me.
mikecane: And that was just Twitter monitoring of #TOC. Had I BEEN there, I'd be in the frikkin E.R.!
