@wintrymix Thanks for following me! I'm also in #massachusetts, and my wife is also a Southern transplant and has a few things in common with you on the sci-fi and fandom front. Your posts made me smile. Happy (problematic) Thanksgiving!

@evebyron Hi, Eve! Thanks for following me. If one must leave journalism, a historical society seems like the perfect place to land. At least the people you write about can't complain about the story if they're already dead.

@PeaceJournalism Prof. Steven — thanks for following me. I've never heard the term "peace journalism" and am digging in on your blog. Knowing you and your work will add a whole new dimension and context to how I think about the larger context of what we do at the community level.

@CorbijnCS Hi, Anja — I'm impressed by your resume. Also in awe and intimidated! I'm looking forward to seeing how you write about and demystify our complicated world. #hellonewfriends

@jwalk1230 I liked your blog post on social media and the First Amendment — and now I want to write "caterwauling" in a sentence and publish it, too. #hellonewfriends

@Profhughes Hi, Bob — Glad to meet you. My wife's from #Atlanta, and our nonprofit newspaper has a media education arm. Looking forward to getting to know you and your work here. #hellonewfriends

@janellens Hi, Jan Ellen — I love solutions without whining. I'm looking forward to reading your work and getting to know you here. #hellonewfriends

@GraniteGeek Hey, David! Virtual handshake to another #NewEngland journalist — I know some of your NNE colleagues, past and present, at the Recorder and the Gazette. Thanks for posting links to your work — looking forward to reading it. #hellonewfriends

@jeffpotter glad to meet you as well. It’s such a relief to find a community like this one. It’s what Twitter never was. I believe that a protected Fourth Estate and the people will keep us free. #hellonewfriends #democracy

@IronicPollyana Bonita, so glad to meet you. I love your phrase "concentrated intelligence." I'm finding myself drawn here instead of Facebook for that reason. #hellonewfriends

I'm really enjoying finding my way around this platform. I've been clicking through to see the profiles of those who have followed me. I want to get a sense of you and and say hi.

Who knows how this platform will develop, but I'm liking this process of discovery amid the noncommercial calm.
