Playing around on a new social media app called Anchor!
Basically, I think it’s a audio twitter.
Unsure on the viability of the platform yet. There might be some huge problems w/ 508 compliance and searching is going to be tough unless you get Siri to listen better and help discern specifics.
First blush? I’m not excited by it.
I know you think I like everything. But I don’t.
Anyone else on Anchor!?
I’ll keep you posted as I test and wave along.
Apparently, my first tweet…was not that exciting.
I guess that’s OK, because I was not out galavanting (or goofing off) on a Tuesday night at 11:28 PM.
Either way, Happy 10 years Twitter!
Looking forward to many more tweets!

“Twitter for 10,000 characters” Alex.
Nope – looks like Twitter will be keeping it’s 140-character limit tweet.
In a Good Morning interview on 03-18-16 with Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey (@jack) said “Absolutely not” to the 10,000 character twitter postings – whew. Here’s the link to the video.
Thanks @Jack – Ain’t nobody got time for 10,000 characters.

Seems like Twitter is trying to prioritize the most important tweets to you.
Awwwwwwwwww, hellz no!
Well, at least they *think* they can predict what you want to read from your follower base.
Don’t be fooled. You can toggle this option off via your Twitter settings. And I suggest you do.
Because if you are like me, you like LOVE drinking from the fire hose.
So do the right thing and toggle your “best Tweets first” to the off position.
Never settle for a supposed predicted computed algorithm to calculate what it thinks I want to read. I can make that decision on my own.

Instead of the standard public safety vs media fight, do you want to see two social media pros live tweet how Christmas in Cleveland gets saved?
Sur and Steer: Telling the live story on how someone special saves Christmas.
Follow along with me on Twitter: @CLEPolice or Facebook: ClevelandPolice
Or tune in with Jen on Fox 8 news (WYW-TV) for live breaking news or on Twitter or Facebook.
Stop saying favorite….say like!
In case you missed it, Twitter changed their “favorite” button to a “like” button.
Yep, it changed from a star to a heart.
Twitter has played off the move from “favorite” to “like” as a universal symbol. The hearts have also done well on Periscope, Twitter’s live broadcast social media app. Perhaps it’s their cross platform comfort by using the heart as their like too.
Although I am NOT much of a fan of the new change, it might make it easier for people to say the one-syllable “LIKE” vs that three-syllable “FAVORITE” – I guess.

In my life, I do appreciate Twitter saving me from saying two less syllables.
Either way, you should “LIKE” things on Twitter now.
Just honored to be a part of the national preparedness efforts partnering with PrepareAthon, ReadyGov, and FEMA.
Looks like MaryJo and I will be leading the charge this Thursday with FEMA’s @PrepareAthon and @ReadyGov on their preparedness efforts.
@ReadyGov Join the #PrepareAthon Twitter chat on Thursday, February, 26th at 2:00 PM EST and learn “What is PrepareAthon! and How to Participate!” This chat will be led by two preparedness champions: Mary Jo Flynn, @maryjofly and Kevin Sur, @rusnivek who will facilitate a discussion about how communities can use tips and tools to get involved in America’s PrepareAthon! activities.
On Saturday, a user on Twitter posted threats about specific flights.
These terroristic tweets were taunting and often vulgar with careless disregard for the safety of numerous people. Authorities were contacted and an immediate investigation was started. Multiple flights were halted, Flights from Portland Portland and Milwaukee were identified and Atlanta Airport was checked for bombs.
Targeting various airlines, the threats moved on from Delta Airlines to Southwest Airlines.
Good practice – the verbiage used by Southwest is good communications/social media verbiage to use on Twitter when responding to immediate threats.
User cited supposedly specific information on how the plot was carried out.
Taunting the safety of passengers on a public forum is bad.
In the end, the person making the threats identified a specific address of location. Again, taunting law enforcement.
Easily found on Google Maps, Chicago Police was dispatched to this address to verify information.
As I predicted, the address did not yield the subject.
Sounds like “SWATTING” to me – http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2013/september/the-crime-of-swatting-fake-9-1-1-calls-have-real-consequences/the-crime-of-swatting-fake-9-1-1-calls-have-real-consequences
In my opinion (and how you should interpret this story is simple): It takes is 140-characters to send you to jail.
From the intel POV: Lots to glean from the info/data posted in these tweets.
From the safety POV: Lots of operational assets to mobilze.
From the Emergency Management POV: Lots to coordinate with various all-hazards public safety agencies in multiple places.
This would be a good time to remind you of DHS’ phrase – “If you see something, say something”.
Remain vigilant my friends.
So…this just happened to me.
Twitter will now track the activities from all your OTHER apps on your smart phone/tablet.
That’s right, Twitter will use:
You get the idea.
Yeowza Twitter.
From Twitter’s EULA: “…collecting and occasionally updating the list of apps installed on your mobile device so we can deliver tailored content that you might be interested in.”
Creeped out? You know you can disable this feature through the Twitter app’s settings menu. Depending on the iOS:
I get that Twitter would like to collect data with what I do using in the Twitter app. In fact, I expect it. However, I am a bit uncomfortable with Twitter collecting info from various other apps.
Not cool Twitter. Way to be that creepy Uncle.
Where is @rusnivek?
