Twixperiment part II: Michigan Twitter Network launched
Thanks for visiting New Media Bytes. If you like what you see, subscribe to my RSS feed.
Note: Apologies for double RSS sends today. Somehow my previous entry was unpublished and I had to get it back out there.
The other day I mentioned that the MLive Twitter account will try to follow all the Twitterers in Michigan. I know I didn’t catch every Michigan Tweeter, but I did find more than 1,300 people to follow. That was phase I of the MLive twixperiment.
Now for phase II
Some of the Michigan twitterers were so excited to have MLive follow them, they sent us direct messages and “@”’s to thank us for following. We have yet to receive any negative feedback.
So creating a page for the network was the logical step. Check out the Michigan Twitter Network on MLive.
The MTN aggregates tweets from all Michigan twitterers that MLive has followed. It also points users to Twitter resources that they can use to interact better with Twitter.
UPDATE: We’ve noticed some loading problems in IE. Anyone know why when refreshing a Twitter flash load in IE, the box then goes blue? Works fine in Firefox/
What do you think? Cool? Not cool?

This is very cool. I work for WWJ Newsradio 950 and I just created one for our news as well. Hope we can get involved.

Thanks TJ. We’re following several news orgs, including WDET. What’s WWJ’s Twitter name? We’re still thinking up ways to expand this page, but it is only a day old! ha. I got some ideas though.
