Rural Radio Notebook
As we go through our daily lives, there are times when we hear or see something that makes us pause and go "hmmmm". Sometimes we make a mental note or jot down a few words on any handy piece of paper to remind us to ponder that observation a little later when it's not as hectic. That's part of the idea for the "Rural Radio Notebook". You can take part in this too. I'm interested in your pictures of Nebraska life. It could involve people, a place, an event or thing. E-mail it to me at dschroeder@krvn.com along with a description. Breaking news stories, news tips, etc are also welcome. I can't guarantee that all submissions will be used but, they will certainly be read.

Twitter wants users to update their personal info
2/25/10
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ Twitter is prodding its users to update
their personal settings to create more ways for people to connect
on its communications service.
The request will pop up when Twitter users log into their
accounts.
Some accountholders have already seen the information boxes,
labeled ``Be found on Twitter.''
A Twitter spokeswoman said Friday that the box is coming soon to
all of its estimated 73 million users worldwide.
The box lists the name, biography and location that individual
users have listed on their page. It also encourages them to allow
other people to find them by e-mail address or mobile phone number.
Twitter says the e-mail addresses and phone numbers won't be
displayed, even if a user agrees to include them in the service's
search index.
The KRVN family is remembering Terry Fales today. He loved to tell stories and share a joke or two. I enjoyed watching him announce a rodeo and the Arnold parade.

Much is made of the "thanks" in Thanksgiving. But, for me it was about the "giving" this past holiday.
