Comments on: GMA WEEK: Twittering Doves http://averyfineline.com/2009/04/23/gma-week-twittering-doves/ Criticism and commentary on southern gospel music Wed, 23 May 2012 18:41:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: Robert http://averyfineline.com/2009/04/23/gma-week-twittering-doves/#comment-883278 Robert Mon, 27 Apr 2009 08:32:43 +0000 http://averyfineline.com/2009/04/23/gma-week-twittering-doves/#comment-883278 From the parts I saw of the Doves, Sandi Patty wasn't the only one having pitch problems. BFA too. Seemed to be more of a "could not hear themselves problem" than anything else. Mercy Me and Rambos family must have not had the same problem.

As far as raw reporting goes, the tweet transcript is a great set of notes that has both a sense of the event as well as the facts of who won what. And as others here have noted, traditional news hasn't transmitted the full story to those who can't be there. That's because traditional journalism is a gatekeeper, often in a good sense, gathering up what news will seem to be the most significant to the greatest number of the reading/listening audience and delivering it via TV or web or newsprint. But the gatekeeper cannot know what the individuals who are posting here are the most interested in, even in something that might strike an editor as obscure. So the big advantage I see in tweeting is both the immediacy of the report and also the detail that remains on record for anyone to access if they want to, when they want to. One disadvantage is that it might detract from your experience, because you are always having to stop to transmit the news as it happens, instead of taking in the ceremony on your own terms to enjoy it. That, and the painful tweeter's thumb disorder that you are going to have one of these days if you keep it up...:) I didn’t follow your tweets live but checked in a couple of times last night and again this morning to see what you had written.

I got the 5 of the winners on USAtoday, and thought I would find out the "rest of the story" but this morning, the day after, nothing....lol, that is too funny.

My wife was watching the telecast, but the bluegrass and SG awards weren't on the "main" show.

It was fun the first few days but it quickly became one more time drain to an already overworked schedule. I mean is it really of great importance that I'm about to ( fill in the blank ) ... I could have twittered about the Myrtle Beach fires yesterday but it seemed better to post a picture of the smoke today on one of our sites... I do think that your twitter on the NQC was better... but then again more of us could probably relate to wanting to be there maybe? Maybe it is really an issue of relevance? If it is something we are really interested in maybe it becomes more exciting and interesting and thus a more useful tool... I’m still wondering if twitter is worthwhile or not.
