Did you sign up for @wamu885 or @wamu885news? Because they are very different. Also, we have @drshow (Diane Rehm Show), @kojoshow (Kojo Nnamdi Show), and @frontdeskamy (Amy, our receptionist). If you want to engage on the issues, tweets to @drshow and @kojoshow seem to create more discussion among followers and also frequently make it to air. If you're looking for behind-the-scenes tidbits about the station and show guests, follow @frontdeskamy. Hope this helps improve your experience. Hi-

I assume if you had the time to blog about this, then you must've contacted them about it. How receptive was WAMU to your feedback about this?

What WAMU does that makes me nuts is send out a flurry of these things all in a burst and then nothing the rest of the day. How does doing that in twitter add any value? If you send me something in twitter it either needs to be time-sensitive - the CNN breaking news twits are good examples of that - or it needs to have some real usable content all by itself.

Many people are flooded every day by "corporate accounts" requesting invites and when you look at their Twitter feed, it's all short headlines with a link to their site. There's no real online presence except to, as you say, use Twitter as a surrogate RSS feed. I think that a lot of companies have heard of the “potential” of Twitter, but they still don’t get it.
