  1. @tosolini Greetings from Venice! My wife and I have spent the past week in Italy. Your video on Italian hand gestures has been invaluable.
  2. @#thepitch Talented photogs will always tell a better story than point-and-shooters. Is that necessary? No more so than powerful headlines.
  3. @moniguzman True, though much of sci-fi carries a moral, and many of those are timeless (see Star Trek TOS). Also true of Limits and Zone.
  4. @moniguzman Star Trek TNG is probably the best sci-fi show ever. Close: 1960s Outer Limits and Twilight Zone & 2000s Battlestar Galactica.
  5. The governator tweets after emergency plane landing, calls quick descent with smoke in the cockpit "a little adventure": http://is.gd/17EYO
  6. Will "curation" save media? Silicon Valley Insider says gathering, sifting and presenting is the new reporting: http://tr.im/nmKq
  7. Do journalists deserve low pay? A media economics professor thinks so. He says they need to find ways to add more value: http://tr.im/ma2X
  8. @moniguzman How has the iPhone changed your life? Which apps do you use the most?
  9. New portrait of America's 30 million least-literate adults: http://tr.im/lGZg. Solve this, say experts, and you solve many other problems.
  10. The reinvented Newsweek.com is here now. Here's a quick tour from the editors: http://tr.im/lrLu
  11. The reinvented Newsweek will arrive soon. Editor Kathleen Deveny shares how and why the magazine is changing: http://tr.im/lrMf
  12. Four Seattle e-journalists and PI.com's Monica Guzman talk "Journalism Rebooted" at May 19 IABC dinner. You're invited: http://tr.im/loeH
  13. Trouble with Quibbles: WP's Hank Stuever says hidebound fans would keep Star Trek from boldly going where it needs to go: http://is.gd/yL7K
  14. Seattle Times pub. Frank Blethen tells Senate committee why "our free press is in freefall" -- and how it might pull out: http://is.gd/xR3E
  15. @femelmed At Group Health Cooperative in Seattle, we tested Twitter during last winter's snowstorms. Now we need to market it internally.
  16. A newspaper model that works: Owners say community papers are "strong and viable" and meeting evolving reader needs: http://is.gd/xhAC
  17. Anna Quindlen "steps aside" one week before the "new Newsweek" arrives. We'll miss her keen insight and fine writing: http://is.gd/x6qW
  18. CSMonitor editor John Yemma: While "creative destruction" rocks the newspaper business, readers seem fine with online: http://is.gd/wWWY
  19. @kristingraham One MSNBC commentator is also concerned about time spent on Facebook. See "Why I Took a Facebreak": http://is.gd/vogv
  20. @femelmed By the way, I truly appreciate the tweets from Aspen but would find a link to a comprehensive post-session summary more useful.
