Blog/Tweets #1: Some Good Examples

First, regarding your grade on this assignment if you did not receive an email back from me with a grade, that means you got a 4.0 on each segment of the assignment, with the tweet stream, the preview post and the recap post each counting as a practice story grade toward your final grade.

Some general observations, first for tweets:

• Don't forget a lede tweet! People need to know what you are about to start streaming, right?
• It's good to use pics and hyperlinks in your tweet stream.
• It's also good to have some quote tweets embedded in your stream.

Now, for blog posts:

• Be sure to lede each post like we would a story, with end result and ultimate outcome.
• Remember blog posts are intended to be read in a stream, so make it complementary to the previous post or posts.
• Then again, remember that when blog readers start reading a blog, they don't go all the way back to the first post ever and then work their way back; they start where they start. So each post has to have just enough background to get people up to speed.
• Don't forget hyperlinks!
