MSNBC.com Taking Over @BreakingNews Twitter Feed; Signs On As BNO News’ First Client

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:28:31 -0500

MSNBC.com Taking Over @BreakingNews Twitter Feed; Signs On As BNO News’ First Client:

Details of the financial arrangement were not disclosed, but I confirmed from MSNBC.com that it doesn’t involve an investment or equity stake in BNO News. Instead, MSNBC will be a paying client of the service. What else does MSNBC.com get out of this? For one, control over one of the biggest breaking news Twitter feeds, at almost 1.4 million followers, compared to MSNBC.com’s own breaking news feed at about 40K followers. MSNBC.com likely will also link to its own stories through the feed, thus driving more traffic to their own site.

BNO says it is now in talks with other publishers, though remains to be seen whether rival publishers would be wary of the MSNBC.com connection. The other unsaid part: now that it will be developing a premium wire service, some of the third-party sources in the news feeds may start asking for compensation, though that might be a tough go considering that its Twitter/iPhone feed is bare headlines only.

I like the idea of @BreakingNews selling their content, but I don’t like MSNBC taking over the twitter feed.

The @BreakingNews feed was maybe the best feed around for the most up to the second, and accurate news on twitter. MSNBC lags way behind on this. I hope @BreakingNews continues to rely on what made them such a great source rather than lean on MSNBC.

MSNBC taking over @BreakingNews is akin to Pizza Hut buying your favorite pizza joint.

They must hate this song by now.

They & about 300 million of us. I’m excluding those who sleep with a Jeter jersey on, as that subgroup of the population undoubtedly believes it’s the new national anthem.

Hell, you know I love a good screencap, yet I refused to do the old: rewind, pause, rewind, pause, fast forward, & then pause, to get this shot.

A man has to draw the line somewhere.

I have to admit that the way this post was worded, it felt like a very risky proposition to click on the link for the photo. However, knowing it must have had something to do with your accident & getting hit by that car, I rolled the dice.

Edward Scissorhands inspired Topiary at MoMa. The antlers really were hand-carved. AMAZING. I have to watch that movie again soon, I forgot how awesome it is.

The catalogue is a must buy if you’re a fan.

Apparently, discreetly* fucking any co-worker—married & unmarried alike—is okay, but tweet about some obnoxious sports radio hacks & you are put on Twitter time out for two weeks. What a joke ESPN is.

*By discreetly I mean just don’t let word of your dalliance slip past the Bristol, CT town line.

Time for a haircut & a shave

Gino: So I love the Edward Scissorhands. That’s the best movie I’ve ever seen.

Enzo: Ah, again with the Edward Scissorhands. How can you have hand like scissors, huh? Show me one person who’s got hand like scissors!

Gino: Hey, it’s a beautiful dream. I’d love to be this man.

Enzo: Did you ever think about what you’re going to do on the toilet? What are you going to do on the toilet?

The two Russian barbers at The Art of Shaving always seem to get into a heated discussion—in their native tongue—whenever I go. I always imagine this is what they are talking about.

Is this dude freakin’ serious? What the eff would a class of children in Tanzania want with his stupid book? Also, I stole my caption from someone more talented than me.

Be prepared for the flood of Tanzanians shopping their “personal brand” here in the states, probably sometime around 2018. It’s brilliant if you think about it. “Lifecasting” will start in Tanzania and then spread to Kenya & Uganda and then so on and so on until the entire continent of Africa is Crushing It!!

Fuck man, can’t you people see the future?!

Anyone want to talk dirty via I.M. and maybe swap naked iPhone bathroom pics? S.I.B.

Bunny, you drive me crazy & I can’t work with you anymore, Good luck in the future. Love, M.R.
