The flatline of Twitter

I like using Twitter...but for most people, it's not real intuitive--although third-party apps are easier to use than twitter.com.

 Also, I think it was mischaracterized as "micro-blogging" when really it was "mass text-message/instant message." So most people didn't/don't really grasp how to use it.

The Twitter Flatline: Why Doesn’t Twitter Grow? [STATS]

Twitter's growth has stalled for yet another month, according to new numbers from Compete and Quantcast. In fact, Twitter.com's traffic peaked in July 2009 and

A fine example of pre-adolescent art: UPDATED

Media: Bendables. Artist: Maybe Taylor. Meaning: too deep to know.
UPDATE: First, the media is called BENDAROOS, not Bendables. Duh me.
Jayme reports that the artist was Caroline.
And while the meaning is still murky, the substance is "A snowflake with a bow."

Hey, Journal Gazette! How much ARE you?

Having a Friday-Sunday sub to the Journal-Gazette, I had to send Greg out to buy a copy this morning.

When he returned, he reported that the paper now cost 75 cents. At least, that's what the lady at Scott's charged him.

I checked the masthead and it still reads 50 cents. And I wracked my brains but can't remember any reports of a price increase. Not in the paper nor in the blogosphere.

So I'm left wondering if 1) the Scotts' checker made a mistake or 2) it's a stealth increase.

Then...what do I find among the pages but a subscription offer. And what a good deal. A whole year, Monday-Sunday, of the JG for just $52. WOW--great deal! Just as I reach for the phone to take them up on that, I read the fine print: "This offer is valid only for households that have not received home delivery of the Journal Gazette in the last 30 days."

Have I just missed it? Certainly the price should go up--who can make money selling a product for 50 cents a pop?

But this first-time subscriber offer--that's just irritating. Because I'm thinking that MY subscription price will probably go up.

Also, I'm wondering: Do newspaper have bad web sites--like www.fortwayne.com--to keep people from visiting them, thinking they will buy hard copies instead? Because that's not working in so many ways.

Instead of trophies, suckers. Which they loved. And stickers.
