Bryan Sears live-Tweeting from speed camera meeting in Baltimore County

August 19, 2009

Bryan P. Sears, the political editor of Patuxent Publishing Co.'s eight Baltimore County community newspapers – and covers government and politics in Baltimore County and state government and politics as it relates to the county; was live-Tweeting from speed camera meeting in Baltimore County tonight at the Towson library.

The meeting began at 7 p.m. I followed along at Twitter.com/bpsears.

More: http://explorebaltimorecounty.com/blog/politics/238/tweeting-from-speed-camera-meeting

This was an incredible effort on the part of Mr. Sears. I copied and pasted some of the running commentary. Go to the bottom of this post to find the beginning…

For Mr. Sears’ entire body of work – go to Twitter.com/bpsears

In the future, follow Mr. Sears at Twitter.com/bpsears and at “strange bedfellows.” Recent posts include: Cardin proposal prank called ‘part of culture of entitlement’; MACo party pictures revealed; Tweeting from speed camera meeting; Marriage proposal leaves unanswered questions; McDonough’s campaign caveat; and A delegate, a faux police raid, and an engagement.

Now for the speed camera event…

Dana Brauer: We need a policeman to sit at the school, we don't need a camera

Dana says we need more policemen doing enforcement

Dana Brauer, Tom's wife, is next

Tom Brauer: Md is turning into MD the police state and I don't like it one little bitt

Weist: Bottom line is this is not a violation of your due process

Weist: We've lost ten dogs and cats. My neighbor has a 3-legged cat because people can't drive 25 mph

Cynthia Weist — you cannot put speed bumps on stevenson lane (in towson)

Baisden: Traffic is the number one issue in out community

Ruth Baisden, pres Greater Parkville Community Council "I'm really here to seek solutions and get the facts."

McDonough: you do a fantastic job

Seehuesen: it might have the effect of being a defacto increase in the speed limit making a 25 mph limit a 37 mph zone

Joe Seebhuesen (sorry if I'm misspelling, I don't have a list) things it's important for police to make these stops at schools

Bailey: one at every public school would be 170

speakers are up next

Johnson: looking at 214 sites across the county for speed cameras

Mohler: I understand why there is cynicism. I understand why people are distrustful of government.

Mohler: we don't have locations yet

Mohler: I respect everyone's opinions but we respectfully disagree on this issue of whether it's about revenue or about public safety

This was especially timely and informative.

Joe Trippi.com: Addicted to Twitter

Too funny...
Mr. Trippi writes: "Are you addicted to Twitter? I got a laugh from this piece over at Salon:"
Last Thursday morning, I sat down at my computer with my cup of sludgy coffee,
just like any other day. I checked my e-mail and glanced at the New York Times
Web site. But when I opened up Twitter, expecting the usual hodgepodge of
scattered thoughts and hectic questions, I found there was nothing there.
Nothing at all.

It was the day of the Great Twitter Outage. But I
didn’t know that yet. I only knew that something was terribly
wrong.

Actually, it was funny, in a kind of pathetic, soul-crushing
way: I stared at the blank screen, hitting refresh over and over. Waiting for
everyone to come back. For my online life to resume. Finally, I accepted the
truth. Twitter, my favorite unreliable news source and constant companion, was
gone.

Iranians warned not to use sites such as Twitter

Like many, I have been following the unrest in Iran by Twitter… It has been quite a phenomenon. However, on an ominous note:

Telegraph.co.uk: “Iranians warned not to use sites such as Twitter” By Damien McElroy, Foreign Affairs Correspondent 17 Jun 2009

Iranians who have been using websites such as Twitter to record every twist and turn of the political crisis faced the threat of state retribution yesterday from the country's feared Revolutionary Guard.

The elite military force issued a statement alleging it had identifed websites run by companies it charged were backed by the US and British secret services.

It warned that it would take action against people stoking "tensions" using new media, such as the micro-blogging website Twitter, which has been a key tool in the dissemination of news at a time of upheaval and censorship.

The Revolutionary Guard, set up in the wake of the 1979 revolution to defend the Islamic Republic from "internal and external" threats has struggled to contain an explosion of news and comment published on websites.

GIs Use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Against Taliban

AP: GIs Use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Against Taliban

Monday, June 01, 2009

KABUL — The U.S. military in Afghanistan is launching a Facebook page, a YouTube site and feeds on Twitter as part of a new communications effort to reach readers who get their information on the Internet rather than in newspapers, officials said Monday.

The effort, which officials described as a way to counter Taliban propaganda, represents a sea change in how the military can communicate its message.

"There's an entire audience segment that seeks its news from alternative means outside traditional news sources, and we want to make sure we're engaging them as well," said Col. Greg Julian, the top U.S. spokesman in Afghanistan.
