It's Wednesday! And that means that members of the Journal Register Company's Idealab - and anyone who wants to - are going to be taking part on the weekly Twitter chat at noon.
Today we will be talking about comments (so your comments are welcome). Since we're undergoing a fairly new experiment in journalism with live coverage of a murder trial here in Kingston, we'll also talk about best practices for live coverage of such and other events.
The live feed is posted below. But you can also follow the chat here or here or also here. And you can also check out past chats over here.
If you want to chime in, just post a tweet with the hashtag "#jrcchat" so it can automatically appear below, or post a comment in the field at the bottom of the chat box.
As always, you are welcome to participate at anytime you want.

JRC Chat at noon on collaboration, 'Journalists on Facebook'
Today we will be collaborating and talking about, um, collaboration! We'll bring some tutorials for journalists and bloggers, produced by us and from all over, with the goal of get them all in one single space for easier access.
We're also going to be talking about the recently unveiled "Journalists on Facebook" page and what can we get out of it.

JRC Chat at noon talks about Project Thunderdome
It's Wednesday again! (it seems to happen every week). And that means that members of the Journal Register Company's Idealab - and anyone who wants to - are going to be taking part on the weekly Twitter chat at noon.
Today we will be talking about recent developments in our company — I believe it's called JRC, which stands for "What's All This About Thunderdome?"
We're also going to be talking about the recent hiring of Jim Brady and Project Thunderdome (cue Tina Turner).
If this sounds cryptic to you, its' because, um, it kind of is, so we'll be talking what all this is, what it means to us, to our users (that would be you), to journalism, and how everything is going to work out without the help of Mel Gibson. And we're all going to be doing this on the Twitters, because that's how we roll.
The live feed is posted below. But you can also follow the chat here or here or also here. And you can also check out past chats over here.
If you want to chime in, just post a tweet with the hashtag "#jrcchat" so it can automatically appear below, or post a comment in the field at the bottom of the chat box.
As you can tell, we're totally transparent, and anything goes. It's the new JRC, after all, or I would have been fired a long, long time ago.
As always, you are welcome to participate at anytime you want. And, of course, we're going to have links.

How to use Twitter for journalism
The livestream (now with better resolution):
(By the way, it should be mentioned that at the end of the session, I got cake).
The links used were:
10 things you need to stop tweeting about - The Oatmeal
Channeling the news brand on Twitter and Facebook - Zombie journalism
The tools we discussed were Twitter, Tweetdeck and Bit.ly.
Also, one guide I didn't get to use and should have is the Elements of Twitter Style.
Another guide I could have use but didn't was the intro to Twitter (modified) guide by Idealaber Lee Moran:
Twitter
One more link: Journal Register Company Adviser Jay Rosen, a New York University professor, explains how he tweets professionally.
UPDATE: Fellow Idealabber Kelly Metz of the Morning Journal in Ohio also has a Twittorial:
