Twitter Co-Founder Contender For 2013 #TIME100 List – And There’s Still Time To Vote!

Mary C. Long — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:00:12 +0000

We know you don’t care about these lists (unless you’re on them), but they DO make for an interesting read most times – if only because we get to marvel about “who voted for these people anyway?!”

And this list is pretty interesting besides. No, not just because one of Twitter’s co-founders is on it, but because you can see the voting results in action – and there’s still time to cast yours.

So you only have yourself to blame on this one, really.

AllTwitter’s Writing Contest Winner Is A Flash Fiction Ninja

Mary C. Long — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:20:28 +0000

When launching AllTwitter’s first Flash Fiction Contest, I expected to see the good, bad and ugly from Twitter’s writing community – and participants did not disappoint.

But I also held out hope that something great – something that would make me stand on my chair and say “wow!” – would rise to the top. And boy did it ever.

Although we had quite a few fantastic submissions, this person’s was the most fantastic-est by far. Not only because he received the most retweets, but because this person, as a whole, is a true flash fiction ninja.

So, now that I’ve set your expectations ridiculously high, I crown (oh, you didn’t know winning this came with a crown?) the winner of our first flash fiction contest, Flash Fiction Ninja: Motke!

Twitter-Initiated Food Stamp Challenge Is Happening Next Week

Mary C. Long — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:00:32 +0000

Think you could live off of food stamps for a week? Think anybody should? (Take that however you want.)

Regardless of how you approach the program, whether for it or against it, most people would agree that the amount folks get on food stamps is too low to live on each month.

And in case you didn’t know that $133 month for food was likely insufficient to live on, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker plans to get a TON of PR for himself by driving home this fairly obvious fact.
