The rise of Twitter: In 2008, the conventions tops out around 360K Tweets. Last week, the RNC resulted in 4 million tweets. - ty97 Sep 5, 06:56 10
- The Democratic online presence/marketing is vastly superior to anything the GOP has -- nm - MDH Sep 5, 07:01 9
  - And Dems capture more of the young set, who tend to use Twitter more. -- nm - ty97 Sep 5, 07:02 8

- I don't believe anything American Airlines has to say. ever. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 5, 07:13 1
  - heh. I never believe parents when they say their child was not being disruptive. - loosilu Sep 5, 07:29

- interesting. -- nm - znufrii Sep 5, 06:53
- Yeah, the fact that most IPOs lost over 90% of their value after 1999 had nothing to do with it. -- nm - GregW Sep 5, 06:53
- I wouldn't link the collapse in IPOs to stock market decimilization. - Roger More Sep 5, 06:37
I just requested off the day after election day. mmm, politics season. -- nm - amanda Sep 5, 06:14 3
- eh, won't be too crazy of a night for me - znufrii Sep 5, 06:23

- boo. I wanted to know how much the fine would have been w/o the amnesty -- nm - oblique Sep 5, 05:29 5
  - Books are charges 20 cents/day with a max of $10 per item. -- nm - ty97 Sep 5, 06:10 4
    - Yeah, very few public libraries charge infinite overdues. They stop accruing pretty quickly and then it's just the value of the item that's billed. -- nm - mara Sep 5, 06:55 3
      - That's what I was curious about because in this case the book was significantly more expensive than a normal book -- nm - oblique Sep 5, 06:56 2

        True. Damn you and your infallible logic! -- nm - oblique Sep 5, 07:00

  - keep it up and there will be a discommendation in your future. -- nm - Remlik Sep 5, 07:15 1
    - this -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 07:41
- *gets his ass kicked by the monster of the week, again* -- nm - Worf Sep 5, 05:44 1
  - Clearly you never saw the Civil War arc or DS9. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 5, 06:02
- But, "Reunion" with Alexander, is one of Worf's best episode -- nm - amoxy Sep 5, 05:31
- whiniest Klingon ever. -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 05:23 2
  - "He is a BORG!" - Mel Profit Sep 5, 07:00
  - although I did like the one where he became a good luck charm on his ship -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 05:24
