Socia Media Outlets

I definitely retweeted this last week (read the syllabus wrong, so typical) but this is twitter, and a retweet is a retweet.

RT for Longshot Mag:

We made a magazine, a website, and a radio show. But it's not enough. So we're publishing everything everyone sent us: http://longshotmag.com/post/8347176791/longshot-publish-all

-> Uh, how awesome is this? There's that known stress of, will I get published, am I good enough - that's all a subjective opinion, isn't it? Longshot publishing all of their submissions (I don't know that time frame of this, but I imagine it isn't an indefinite thing) allows at least one chance at exposure, and that's extremely generous of them.

RT for Radiolab:
Want your name to outlive you? Wildly charming video on eponyms from @rkrulwich and Adam Cole: http://ow.ly/6IMwF.

-> The tweet mentions this being wildly charming, and they weren't kidding. This segment is how a name becomes immortal when it becomes a noun. My personal favorite: Lord Cardigan.


Onto the next task!
Slate's Facebook, Twitter| and here are a few more of their twitters - Slate's foreign desk, Slate France, Slate's "Fray", Slate articles.

Grantland's Facebook, Twitter.


Task #2: I joined The Atlantic Wire and The NYT Magazine.
