• @gstein city beer freaking rocks. the proprietors are very knowledgeable #
• taking care of both kids tonight with cathy going to bunco party. #
• @ravenzachary I agree. I think poverty and the riaa (and IP policy in general) are related #
• @ravenzachary one of #geekpac ‘s challenges is educating others of the link. bad ip laws == dig. divide #
• mccain team is smart – appealing to disaffected hillary supporters #

• @lisah F— IT? 🙂 #
• I <3 @Roebot – I swear I haven’t paid him a dime to pimp GeekPAC! #
• @laurencooney there has to be *some* reason for the fireworks, right? #
• @sunlightnetwork thanks to sunlight labs, it helped us put together this: http://tinyurl.com/5ef48w #
• beginning to think that sending out a mass email on Friday morning late in the summer wasn’t the smartest idea #
• @sjvn Jack Chick? *shudder* there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. I grew up on that stuff. #
• @Roebot I love you, man – no matter what anybody else says about you 😉 #

• USA takes Guatemala 1-0 in front of a very hostile Guatemalan crowd. Carlos Ruiz is a dirty cheat. Nice start to WC qualifying. #
• wondering how long before big media unleashes the lawyer dogs on justin.tv #
• @bgoldy lightweight 🙂 #
• @storming that sounds like our daughter. we stopped trying to dress her when she was 2 🙂 #
• @divadanese Then shouldn’t your name be “Minnie”? ba-dum-ching (be sure and tip your waiters) #
• @jrep @storming I agree with Blizzard – support is rarely in a position to be the advocate for the community. but we need a new name #
• the term “community manager” is almost meaningless. r u daily support? community outreach? community marketing? community/customer advocate? #
• @uid0 LOL… well, in truth, that’s how some people operate 🙂 #
• @storming that’s kinda what i was getting at. Ideally, though, the community person/group will inhabit a semi-autonomous place #
• @storming because the community group has to have a mandate from execs to prevent screwing over your community. #
• @hunleyd LOL! nice… OH HAI! I’M IN YOUR FORUMS, DELETIN’ YOUR MESSAGES. KTHXBAI! #
• @jzb very true – but I remember when it didn’t. #
• @jrep I used to agree with that, but now I’m not sure. I mean, when does a viable community not bring value to the company? #
• @jrep google and red hat really forced me to rethink that #
• @jzb but I think things are definitely trending towards community being a distinct group. At least, it is at @CollabNet 🙂 #
• @storming ah… yes, very true. I guess I’m drawing a distinction between community leadership and community interaction. Is that fair? #
• @storming @jrep @mjasay hmm… I smell a panel at OSBC 🙂 #
• @storming really? bury them in the product group? I dont’ think that 1 reflects the strategic value of community or 2 carries enough weight #
• @jrep good point re: unique culture of each community #
• @storming agree product is part of it, but “community managers” will live on in some separate capacity – comm. partic. will be absorbed #
• @storming re: teaching culture – force employees into read-only community access for the first 3 months. and pop quizes! #
• @guyma I’m all for straddling product / community fence. I just dont’ think it can happen from within product group 🙂 #
• GeekPAC fundraiser update: over 40% there! http://tinyurl.com/5lz8as come on, peeps! #
• @shellynoel @amcpherson I wish I were going to see Radiohead tomorrow night 🙁 #

• @segphault EFF is not a PAC, they’re a 501(c)(3) and cannot commit over 5% to political causes – and I’m a proud EFF member #
• @segphault launching a PAC means being overtly political – campaigning for candidates, sourcing candidates, and general lobbying #
• @lisah LOL… I think I know what to get you for Christmas 😉 #
