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.

     It's no stretch to imagine celebrities traveling through Nebraska on the I-80 pipeline from the west coast to the east coast.  But, a Taylor Swift tour bus created a stir in Gothenburg on Tuesday(10-13-09).  It was parked in the Randazzle Cafe parking lot.  It's unlikely Swift was on the bus.  She performed in Las Vegas Saturday night according to her tour schedule.  Local speculation was that Taylor Swift's bus driver stopped in Gothenburg while she was on a plane to Memphis.

     Many trips have been made over the years from Lincoln to Omaha on Interstate 80.  The sights are familar with the Waverly water tower, the Greenwood weigh scales, Mahoney State Park, Platte River bridge, the glass chapel on the hill.  On a recent trip to the east coast of the state, I had some extra time and decided to veer off the path and take Highway 6 from the northeast side of Lincoln.  The byway takes you through several small communities, past golf courses and even a lighthouse.  Well not an active lighthouse anyway.   But, it was well worth the change in scenery to take the drive.   There are a couple of roadways that can take you back to the Interstate or continue to follow the Highway 6 trail to Omaha's West Dodge Street.   In any case, it's worth the side trip, if you have a little extra time.
