  • Rtwt @Mlsif: Get $100 from Orbitz, redeemable for travel to Cuba, when US lifts the embargo (sign up here: http://www.opencuba.org) #
  • Obama’s brilliant and funny speech @ Saturday’s Whitehouse Correspondents’ dinner: http://is.gd/yRv8. Cleverest Preznit Evar? #
  • Interesting: Obama says watchdog media makes government better, I say watchdog blogs make media better. Where are the props for grassroots? #
  • @natthedem I live in a happy land devoid of criticism of Wanda Sykes. (I <3 Biggie Shorty!) Who is stupid enough to hassle her? in reply to natthedem #
  • A day late, but here’s my mommy’s-eye-view from Mother’s Day: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rubyji/3522603216/ #babywearing #

  • Rtwt @tubafrenzy: Nothing says “2009” like this pic of the Heels presenting Obama with a #1 jersey: http://is.gd/yVIn What a diff a yr makes #
  • Hey folks, what’s your favorite tool for automatically following your followers on Twitter? #
  • @johnmerritt In some cases. I manage an organizational account and don’t have time to check out each new follower, but want to follow back. in reply to johnmerritt #
  • @findingurstyle I agree, but can’t get colleagues to deal with Twitter. This is the only way to share the love with followers. in reply to findingurstyle #
  • OK, I’m convinced. I won’t use auto-follow for my org. I can see how it facilitates spam and such. Wish Twitter would make this easier, tho. #
  • @hughlh No, auto-DMing followers is the devil. Auto-follow is just lazy, IMO. in reply to hughlh #
  • Very nice to see @ayse & @davidb this evening. Now trying to get myself psyched up for Izzy’s first tub bath. :-O #
  • Looking for a Twitter name for Izzy. I think accounts without at least 1 tweet per month for 6 months should be deleted. Lame squatters… #
  • @ayse Fortunately we did (just barely) think to take pictures of @IzzySinreich’s (temp Twitter name) first bath. Will post soon… in reply to ayse #
  • @Ayse Do I just tweet @Twitter about the squatter? #

  • Found out recently that my spouse wasn’t exposed to Free to Be You And Me as a child. Thought it was required for all 70’s kids. #
  • For others of you who missed it, you can still grow up to be anything you want. http://tinyurl.com/dfdtan #
  • I suspect there’s a correlation b/w parental politics and likelihood of watching Free To Be You And Me. (PS @jreesnc, it’s not a TV show.) #
  • Oops, meant to say: I suspect there’s a correlation b/w parental politics and likelihood of *listening to* Free To Be You And Me. #
